Bosses at the Greater Maryhill Foodbank are paying tribute to people's generosity after nearly £20,000 has been donated.

The charity was targeted by heartless thieves who made off with shopping vouchers and cash earmarked to help fund a holiday for a schoolgirl who survived a car crash that killed her friend.

Celtic FC have offered to pay for 10 year old Chelsea Somerville to go to Floriday with her family.

And Partick Thistle are collecting food at their home game on Saturday.

Julie Webster from the foodbank spoke to our Reporter Linda Sinclair.
