Foodbank back in action for 2019/20 campaign

Foodbank back in action for 2019/20 campaign

Supporters Trust are back with the community foodbank initiative for the new season.

The Leeds United Supporters’ Trust will be back in action with the foodbank initiative for the 2019/20 campaign, helping to support two local foodbanks covering the whole of Leeds. 

The club will once again be supporting the community foodbank project which will take place throughout the season ahead of every home match, with fans encouraged to donate food or cash donations where possible at Elland Road.

The food drive will be located close to Bremner Square and the official Leeds United Store based outside the stadium, in the same location as last season, giving fans and local people the chance to give any emergency food items they can. 

The charities in association with the initiative are asking for donations of food that is still in date and still good to eat, which will then provide three days of nutritionally balanced emergency food to support local people that have been referred to them in crisis.

The two local foodbanks the club are working with are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks supported by The Trussell Trust.

There will be representatives from the Supporters' Trust and Leeds foodbanks at  the collection point ahead of Saturday's game against Nottingham Forest and they will be on-hand to take any food items from our loyal fans.

If anyone is interested in volunteering on a matchday or at one of the local foodbanks please contact info@leedsnorthandwest.foodbank.org.uk or info@leedssouthandeast.foodbank.org.uk if you are interested.
