OVER the festive period Molly Malone’s pub in Stirling’s city centre set up a food drive in order to raise donations for local charity Start Up Stirling.
The charity event was organised through volunteer Steven Hughes.
The local pub set up a range of collection baskets throughout the pub in December to help raise donations in support of the local charity.
Molly’s also had a charity night on December 15 where musicians Scott McGill and The Haggis Candy Band performed.
The pub managed to collect two baskets of food, which were collected by Start Up Stirling to help those in need.
Molly Malone’s manager said: “Massive thanks to Steven Hughes and everyone that’s helped donate food to Start Up Stirling this past week. Lots of food going to those in need.”
Volunteer Steven Hughes said:
“The good folk from Molly Malone’s, like many businesses, schools. churches and individuals across Scotland used Christmas as a time for helping those in greatest need in their community.
“Staff and locals in Molly’s along with musician Scott McGill raised £333 plus 100kg of food via a music night, raffle and a food collection throughout December.
