Bank co-ordinator Michelle Kerr said families on the Taieri were struggling with the rising costs. An annual drive helped stock the food bank throughout the year. Emergency services staff and volunteers would collect non-perishable food items from Mosgiel residents between 6pm and 9pm on Monday, December 3. Ms Kerr praised the wider community for its continued support of the food bank and helping people in need.
