The Clarets’ final home game of the season against Brighton on Sunday will be dedicated to raising awareness about the on-going efforts of the town’s foodbank.
And as part of the fund-raising campaign to support the initiative, the special one-off white shirts worn by the Clarets for their Premier League win at West Ham earlier this month will be auctioned off.
The foodbank, which is situated in BFCitC’s Burnley Community Kitchen facility, has proved a critically important service for the community during the coronavirus pandemic.
Community and Club staff alike have worked closely with partner organisations via the BurnleyTogether community hub to meet demand and since mid-March, through these collective efforts, the foodbank has fed almost 5,000 local people, 1,940 of whom have been children.
