In the summer of 1847, the government set up some soup kitchens to give the starving people hot soup. Huge boilers were provided by The Quakers in which to cook the soup. By August 1847, about 3 million people were being fed each day in total.
A soup kitchen will be situated in the yard of Drogheda Borough Council which, during famine times, was the site of one of many soup kitchens. For a donation of €5 to Drogheda Homeless Aid, a tasty lunch will be served for you.
Venue: Drogheda Borough Council Yard
12.00 noon schools only
1.15pm:- 2.30 p.m. open to the public
