Efforts to provide food to residents in "desperate" need in West Lothian have received nearly a £300,000 boost.
The council has agreed to donate £298, 679 worth of aid to the local food network after hearing of a surge in demand this year.
Nahid Hanif, West Lothian council’s anti-poverty manager, told the council executive today the money would help meet growing demands in the face of rising costs this coming winter.
