Completely not true that they're all paid employees now. Some are, but there are a good few that still volunteer. I'm currently volunteering there myself. I've no idea what Penny dinners was like before but having volunteered there I can say that they're still doing amazing things. You can fill out a form online on their website if you do want to volunteer.
Jaysus lads is anyone willing to a little bit of research instead of spouting misinformation?
The amount of people who told you it’s all paid staff now are wrong. They still have volunteers and you can most certainly apply. Just google penny dinners volunteer.
I volunteered there for over a decade and left in 2023. A few months ago the volunteers, some of whom were there for 20+ years were told they were no longer needed and not to come back. It’s all paid staff now as far as I know, maybe corporate volunteers
People taking advantage of it? Are you suggesting that penny dinners vet everyone than goes to their door? The people taking advantage are the issue not penny dinners. Weird take you have on that.
So you're telling people not to donate to penny dinners because penny dinners has money? I'm really not following your logic here unfortunately.
As someone that routinely donates food and clothes to penny dinners if there's a big issue with them would you mind elaborating and maybe recommending someone you'd rather I donate to instead? You seem to know an awful lot about this but are willing to share very little.
you need to stop going there i think because its obvious you have no idea what you are talking about. You need money to operate and order goods in advance, pay bills, service charges. But of course you know better. There is someone dim here alright and you shouldn’t be outing yourself so easily
Assets, my friend, pertain to property and equipment or anything you hold that has a monetary value. Explain your definition of it because its clear you are clueless

You could check out Cork Volunteer Centre if you are looking for somewhere to volunteer

Well I just filled up the form to volunteer too :)
Why hasn’t this massive change had any media coverage?
Maybe Street Angels would suit OP? They always need volunteers on Monday nights
Media tend to focus on stuff that is true.
The massive change that never happened?

Ok thanks - pity as that was something o could get behind
Its misinformation, there are 100% voluntary positions for penny dinners
Not true.
My friends husband and son were here volunteering two weeks ago
Not true, there are voluntary positions
Not true
It was a fantastic place for a long time. It’s sad that it’s changed like this
Volunteering in penny dinners now is gone. They left them all go. It has managers/supervisors now etc paid staff. I'd never support them.
Because they have paid staff you wouldn’t support them?
No for other reasons .
Such as?
The advantage that people take of it. The assets pennys dinners have etc.
People taking advantage of it? Are you suggesting that penny dinners vet everyone than goes to their door? The people taking advantage are the issue not penny dinners. Weird take you have on that.
Which assets do you speak of?
It's all on public record .
You seem to know all about it and you stated it. You are the one saying ‘assets’, what assets are you speaking of?
Assets are monies that a charity/business have . I'm dealing with very dim here I gather.

inside you
Explain this section of their website:
https://corkpennydinners.org/volunteer/
It's called an application form. Have you ever filled one up ? They are rather common.
Are application forms entitled “volunteer” common for organisations that don’t accept volunteers? That seems peculiar, no?
You do know that websites can sometimes not be updated ? Fffssss
The website that was relaunched in 2025? How recently did they stop accepting volunteers?
Could the more likely explanation be that you’re talking out of your hoop?

Keep in mind you’re in a thread where someone has literally confirmed they currently volunteer there 😂
Have you read this thread. Puppet of the highest order .
Yeah. Everyone thinks you’re a clown.
Your own screenshot on a fb message is not proof of anything you sausage. This is the screenshot equivalent of citing yourself as a source lmao
2025 darling
No one uses Facebook in 2025 apart from bots and the elderly
Lies, they do have volunteers
All volunteers were let go.
No they were not

Lol a screen shot from a reddit post, must be true 😂😂😂
It's even funnier, it's his OWN post from fb 😭😂
That's Facebook ya clown hahhaah
Even better, a screen shot from Facebook. Whats your issue with penny dinners or are you just a moron in general?
No it’s not. Stop spreading misinformation please.
