THE team behind a West Dunbartonshire food bank - who helped feed people over 10,000 times during the coronavirus pandemic have been named the local Citizens of the Year.
Old Kilpatrick Food Parcels (OKFP), which was set up at the height of Covid-19 to ensure vulnerable residents had essential supplies, received the gong at this year’s Provost’s Civic Awards.
The annual awards ceremony is held every year to celebrate West Dunbartonshire’s top citizens who help others and more recently, who have inspired the community throughout the pandemic.
Maureen and Gordon Cummings had the idea to create OKFP after volunteering their time to pick up shopping and prescriptions for neighbours when Covid hit.
