OVER 2200 meals and hundreds of toys have been donated through two separate charity drives at Mount Gambier Marketplace in recent weeks, with the goods distributed to vulnerable Limestone Coast residents ahead of Christmas.
Regional Foodbank Mount Gambier has received more than 1.1 tonnes of food through its annual collection at the shopping centre, bulking up its stock in what is the organisation’s peak demand period.
