In 2024, Ballymaloe Foods increased charitable donations and food contributions to FoodCloud, surpassing milestone targets and reinforcing its commitment to community support and food redistribution.
In 2024, Ballymaloe Foods continued to strengthen its commitment to community engagement, increasing charitable donations from €14,983 in 2023 to €16,393, surpassing its milestone target by 8%. A key recipient of this support was FoodCloud, reflecting the company’s focus on addressing food insecurity through meaningful partnerships.
The company also expanded its in-kind contributions, with food donations to FoodCloud rising tenfold from 300kg in 2023 to 3,000kg in 2024, far exceeding the milestone of 350kg. In addition, Ballymaloe Foods committed to donating a volume of pasta sauce, reinforcing its long-term support for food redistribution efforts. The number of food hampers donated also increased slightly, from 113 to 116, meeting the milestone of 115.
Beyond financial and food donations, Ballymaloe Foods encourages hands-on community involvement. Staff regularly participate in local litter picking and maintain flowerbeds on a nearby roundabout, helping to enhance the local environment and foster civic pride. These grassroots efforts reflect the company’s belief in contributing to the community in both structured and informal ways.
The company also maintained its commitment to education and youth development. In 2024, it hosted two student internships - one for a Food Innovation & Entrepreneurship student and another for a Food Science student from UCC. Both placements lasted between five and six months and concluded with student reports, providing valuable industry experience and academic insight.
