Due to a shortage of food donations and low volunteer numbers a Hamilton Foodbank had to close its doors in March.Saddened by the news, five Scottish Gas engineers stepped up and have kept the foodbank afloat by lending a hand to provide food parcels to those most in need amid the coronavirus pandemic.Hamilton-based Chris Emmerson and his colleagues, Karim Awadia, Paul McNally, Julie Dickson and Kenny McNally have raised more than £500 worth of food donations to help support vulnerable families and the elderly in the community.
The team of engineers have volunteered their time and vehicles to pick up donations from doorsteps and deliver food parcels to those who need it most across the Hamilton area.
