The Day Today store in Alloa Road, Stenhousemuir – run by Asiyah and Jawad Javed – is looking for those who are struggling in the local area to get in touch so they can organise food package deliveries with help from volunteers at Safebase and Taz’s Taxis.

In an online post, the award-winning shop stated: “If anyone is not working, not getting an income and runs out of food, or times are just tough – please don't go to sleep with an empty stomach on Christmas Day.

“We will be delivering food packages on December 23 so everyone has food on the table on Christmas Day. We will be more than happy to share whatever we can and

drop it off, or you can collect it from the store.”
