Presenting the money to Liz Jermy, Manager of Oswestry Food Bank. Anna Pugh, President of Oswestry Cambrian Rotary said, “I am delighted that our Rotary is able to assist the Food Bank.

Liz explained that the donation will be used to provide 50 meat vouchers from a local butcher and distributed to local families and others in need.

"With Christmas rapidly approaching and the difficulties so many people are in, more and more reliance is being placed on Food Banks including those in employment," Anna said.
