In 2024, Shannon Vale Foods continued to deepen its commitment to community engagement, surpassing its target milestone for charitable contributions. The company increased its total donations in 2024, exceeding the target milestone by 9%. This growth reflects Shannon Vale’s ongoing dedication to supporting local causes through both financial and in-kind contributions.
Beyond monetary donations, the company encouraged staff participation in local initiatives. Two employees volunteered a combined ten hours with the Clonakilty Meals on Wheels programme, helping deliver essential services to vulnerable community members. Additionally, another team member contributed to a local focus group aimed at developing a town-wide food waste guide, an initiative that aligns with both community and environmental goals.
Shannon Vale Foods also reported three community-focused initiatives currently in progress. These include continued donations to local charities, both in cash and product form, ensuring that support reaches a broad range of needs within the community. These efforts are designed to be responsive and flexible, allowing the company to address emerging issues and opportunities as they arise.
