Funding has been secured for its short term future.
Meals on Wheels is set to finally be reintroduced to a Laois town.
The service stopped in Portlaoise in June 2023 due to funding issues and is set to be supported for a 12 month period by Laois Partnership Company.
It's received a one-off funding grant from Leprino Cheese to start the pilot project, which will also fund the position of a Meals on Wheels coordinator.
It will coordinate with the local steering committee to organise volunteers, draw up rotas and co-ordinate delivery routes.
Laois Partnership Company CEO Caroline Lydon says long term funding is now the goal:
