While Christmas is a very happy time for many people, for others it can be difficult.
Following on from the success of last year’s food bank collections, Council employees will be giving donations for food banks across Argyll and Bute again this year.
Staff will be joined by pupils in a number of our schools who are coming up with their own ideas on how to generate income to purchase items for donating, helping them to learn the value of money at the same time.
Donations can be made from Monday 3rd December through to Friday 14th December, at your local council customer service point, and at Kilmory in Lochgilphead.
Food will be distributed to food banks between 19th and 21st December.
