A charity founder has launched a fundraiser as demand for his soup kitchen runs high.
Christopher O'Reilly founded the Liberty Soup Run alongside his uncle Fran Dempsey back in 2018. Christopher had previously struggled with alcohol addiction and wanted to give back to the local community following his recovery.
Homeless people usually relied on the group's food runs in the past, but Christopher explained that the demographics in need of assistance have changed during the current crisis. The number of families presenting at soup runs has proved alarming.
