What to do with unwanted food, Dublin Northside?

Hi, it was a toss up to post this here or in the food section, hope this is OK here? My mother was given 2 hampers she does not need. It's mostly stuff like pasta, cereal, sauces, biscuits etc all long BB dates and 'ambient' as I believe they say in th retail business. Any charities take this kinda stuff?

Local clergy might know of people could be doing with it.

Supermarkets often have food collections at this time of year, usually a trolley is left near the exit for items to be dropped in.
