A FOOD bank team who went beyond the call of duty to help those in need during the coronavirus pandemic has won a prestigious award. Old Kilpatrick Food Parcels, which was set up at the height of Covid-19 to ensure vulnerable residents had essential supplies, was named Citizen of the Year at the Provost s Civic Awards. Maureen and Gordon Cummings had the idea to create Old Kilpatrick Food Parcels after volunteering their time to pick up shopping and prescriptions for neighbours when Covid hit. After distributing excess food donated by local shops, the pair felt a local collection and distribution food service for residents who were unable to leave their homes would be a useful addition to supplement existing provision.
