THERE will be a change in the opening times of the Benarty Food Bank at the Crosshill Centre over the festive period.

The facility will be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day as well as Hogmanay, New Year’s Day and 2nd January.

In the circumstances the food bank will be open on Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd from 4pm to 6pm and on Monday 29th December and Tuesday 30th from 4pm to 6pm.

The food bank’s Stephen Nardone hopes that people needing support from the facility will go along on the Mondays and Tuesdays where they will be made very welcome.
