Free food is still set to be distributed to those in need on Christmas Eve as volunteers and a local businessman come together.
Volunteers are hoping to still distribute free food on Christmas Eve, despite news last week that a local hub is to close.
While it has yet to elaborate on the reasons behind the decision, the organisation - whose other projects are to continue - said the free section of Stirling Community Food was “no longer sustainable” and would close permanently at 12pm on December 7. A spokesperson posted: “Members of our local community, including former staff and volunteers of the Transition Community Food project, are collaborating with local businessman Azam Haider Bhatti, to open the community food hub building one more time on Christmas Eve.
