Kieran Holroyd from Marr College in Troon organised a drive-thru food donation point, along with a team of volunteers on Thursday, April 17.

Lots of people from the community showed their support and the amount of help that is available during these difficult times.

Huge well done to everyone who took part in organising the drive-thru and also to those who turned up with donations.

South Ayrshire Foodbank were overwhelmed with the generosity of the public and thanked everyone for supporting them during this emergency food crisis.

If you are experiencing an emergency food crisis, do not hesitate to contact South Ayrshire Council on 0300 123 0900 or contact your support worker, and let them know you wish to be referred to the foodbank.

Scotland is in lockdown. Shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. We're not exaggerating when we say that the future of the Ayr Advertiser, and the vital local news service we've provided since 1803, is under threat.

Please consider supporting the Ayr Advertiser in whatever way you can – by paying just 90p for a copy of the paper, when you're shopping for essential supplies for yourself and others, or by subscribing to our e-edition here.

Thanks – and stay safe.
