AN EMERGENCY aid charity is calling on Dumbarton and the Vale residents to donate tins of meat and vegetables.

Old Kilpatrick Food Parcels issued the plea for help on social media last week after stocks ran dangerously low and impacted their ability to support vulnerable families.

The team are specifically looking for potatoes, canned chicken curry, bolognese, pork chilli and minced beef, as well as tins of corned beef.

Items can be dropped off at Old Kilpatrick Food Parcels’ Hub within the Station Road Industrial Estate every weekday from 12-4pm.
