Saddleworth Round Table's chair has praised the kind-hearted folk who helped make donations to their weekend collection for Oldham Food Bank a bumper success.
John Arthurs said: "Saturday in Greenfield was yet another amazing success - the generosity of the Saddleworth people is amazing.
"They were in desperate need of some vital foods such as milk, rice pudding, cordial, biscuits and sugar and people came with boot fulls!
"Tesco donated three trolley loads also, which was wonderful. We collected 125 crates, which weighed in at 1,820kg."
