Inverkeithing residents can help to feed hungry children around the world by visiting the Mary’s Meals shop on the High Street.

The shop has reopened following its temporary closure due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A range of measures has been introduced to ensure the safety of customers, volunteers and staff – including a 72-hour quarantine period for all donations and a steaming process for clothing.

Mary’s Meals was set up to provide nutritious meals at school for hungry children living in some of the world’s poorest communities.

Linda Whitesmith, shop manager, said: “By donating unwanted goods and shopping with us here in Inverkeithing, people can make a real difference to the lives of hungry children living around the world.”

Mary’s Meals works in 19 countries around the world. With schools across the globe closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, it has been working with governments and local communities to develop safe methods of distribution which allow almost all the children who normally enjoy its meals to eat at home instead.
