On Sunday 27 October, ahead of our 4.30pm kick-off against Crystal Palace, we will once again be supporting Islington Foodbank with a food collection on the podium at Emirates Stadium.
Earlier this year, Islington Foodbank, in support with Arsenal in the Community, carried out its first ever foodbank collection on the podium. We were overwhelmed by the generous donations of our fans and raised over 380kg of food which was distributed to local families in need. Foodbank volunteer Kathy Weston said: "We didn't quite know what to expect at our first food drive with Arsenal in April, but we were overwhelmed by the generosity and support we got on the day.
