Food parcels will be handed out in Kilkenny to those who are struggling to feed their families.
The Capuchians are providing the funds for the parcels which will be given to those in need every Tuesday at the Friary Hall.
The initiative is expected to be up and running by the Summer and will help up to 200 familes in the city.
Father Sean Donohoe told KCLR that this outreach is just one aspect of how The Friars would like befriend the community.
