Co-op Foodbank collection point
Organisers of Crieff’s Foodbank are delighted to announce that the town’s Co-operative has agreed to house a permanent collection point in store ... writes Caroline Murphy.
The trolley is situated at the front of the shop and is an accessible option for good-hearted locals to leave their donations of food.
Store manager Liam Higgins stated:“We are very pleased to be able to support the community in this way and provide a central collection point for the Foodbank.”
Foodbank volunteer Mary Mackinlay added: “We are delighted that the Co-op has agreed to have a permanent collection point.
“We are very grateful to everyone who donates to the Foodbank and to the Co-op for providing another means for people to give to this worthwhile project.”
A typical food parcel contains breakfast cereals, soup, pasta, rice, pasta sauce, tinned beans, tinned meat, tinned vegetables, tinned fruit, tea or coffee, UHT milk, sugar, biscuits and snacks.
