Fife councillor’s Kiltwalk fundraiser nets almost £1000 for pantry

Councillor Rosemary Liewald took on the 13-mile challenge in Edinburgh in September, and sponsorship of £915 will now go to Cardenden Food Pantry which is based in the Bowhill Centre.

It is a vital resource within the community providing much needed provisions and fresh produce to many families today who are living on a budget and may be struggling.

But its officers and volunteers, led by Margaret King, the Community Learning Development Office, also provide much needed skills and education such as cooking on a budget classes.

Cllr Liewald, whose ward covers Lochgelly, Cardenden and Benarty, said: “I know that what I am able to is raise will be added to the much-needed resources spend in this community and beyond.”She thanked all who donated with the final total boosted by 50% by Sir Tom Hunter’s foundation.
