We at King's Food Bank at Kendal would like to say a very big thank you for the recent and positive coverage that The Westmorland Gazette has given to the food bank.

This has resulted in extra donations of money and food.

It is only as we work at the Food Bank and hear stories of the difficult and tragic circumstances in people's lives that we realise more and more how vital this service is.

Of course one day we would like to be out of business as the economic climate hopefully improves.

So, Westmorland Gazette, thank you!
