Kids food question

Happy Monday afternoon everyone.

My kids get school meals Im very grateful for them I know some people give out but I’m grateful.

We’re in a new location getting settled. Gap between finishing a job & starting a new job, we spent time in a domestic violence refuge so my kid’s getting fed at school and liking school is all I need.

Are there any urgent food charities I can access without a long wait list? Waiting to hear back from the service we were under. Contacted saint Vincent’s & as I started a new job I did also try social welfare.

We are getting on our feet don’t get me wrong. I’ve started a good job they have a safe school, ex is on remand & will face real time on April 21.

For a couple weeks until I am paid is there a services like food pantry? Or shops that throw out waste? I am not in dublin but a commuter town. We are Irish & I have always worked so not expecting to live off freebies etc I hope this doesn’t read as begging
