An amazing festive mission to provide 250 underprivileged families with the ingredients for 1,750 free meals for Christmas week has been realised.
Dumfries dad Lee Vann-Wakelin has been working since October to pull off his big-hearted vision for a seven-day hamper of food after recognising the plight of many in the current economic
climate.
And, with the support of volunteers to bag and distribute the supplies over a number of days in a military-style operation last week, all the hampers filled with donated food went out to those who needed them across the region.
