The cost-of4iving crisis deepened and with it. demand for our help Increased dramatically. For the first half of the year, we continued to provide food parcels and starter packs via our partner agencies from our premlses at An Cala in Loch8ilphead, whist battling roof leaks. winter stomis, damp and mould to make the new Hub frt for purpose. We finally opened in June and since openin& demand for food parcels has quadrupled, confimiing our belief that a considerable unmet need existed under the previous system.

Argyll Homes for All Installed kitchen storage units. some donated by Howdens of Campbeltown. Then the Co- Op installed the shefving and Balfour Beatty cleared and painted the area next to the Hub SO a shed to house starter pack Items could be installed on a base provided by DA MacDonald. The Communlty Shop gave us some fumiture, Fyne Homes provided cups and kettles and Lidl in Oban donated shopping baskets. We even had some pots and plants from Harbro to add some summer colourl We were now ready to stock the Hub and here again, we had the most generous support from Balfour Beatty and Hendrix Genetlcs. The final job before opening was to install the splendid Food Share Hub signs and donor board designed and donated by Midton Acrylics. On June 17th, we opened the Food Share Hub to the publlc, wlth a well-publlctsed open day to which everyone In Mid Ar8yII was invited. The Hub is now open three times a week, on Tuesday.
