During these times of restrictions, the Fifth Ballymena Scout Group considered how they could still do their bit for the community this Christmas.
One very deserving charity that they all agreed to help was Ballymena Foodbank.

The Group organised a socially distanced driveway food drop off and Leaders were delighted to see how the Christmas spirit was truly alive as the donations came pouring in throughout the day.
Will McDonald from the Ballymena Foodbank chatted to them all during a Zoom meeting and explained the items they were especially in need of. Many of the members shopped for these items themselves and some even used their own pocket money.
The donations were transported on to Ballymena Foodbank and when weighed by the charity totalled an impressive 300kgs.
The Scout Group have extended their sincere thanks to all who contributed
