BORDERLAND Rotary have donated £750 towards an industrial freezer for an Oswestry-based community kitchen to keep all their great food cool.
Osnosh hopes to get the new freezer soon, as it gets more and more busy serving food in the Oak Street base on Wednesdays and Fridays and preparing food the rest of the week.
Donna Murdoch, head of admin at Osnosh, said that the group are grateful for the donation and can't wait for the new appliance to come in.

She continued: "We are so grateful to organisations such as Borderland Rotary as they have beaten a path to us to offer help as we are generally too busy to get out and raise money.
"We are, of course, applying for funding from many sources but it’s really nice of people visit us and offer their help, be it volunteering or financial."
Community kitchens throughout the country are needed more than ever in these tough times and Osnosh is no exception and has seen its clientele more than double over the last year.
Donna added: "It’s a bit strange really, it’s good to be busy but by being busy we realise what a great need there is in the community for the services we provide so if you’ve got time, come and visit us, see what we do and maybe even volunteer.
"We’re here for the public and mainly run by the public."
