LFC backs Fans Supporting Foodbanks with £40k donation during league suspension

Liverpool's first-team squad, LFC Foundation, Red Neighbours and club staff will come together to back Fans Supporting Foodbanks during the suspension of Premier League football.

The collective show of solidarity aims to help the initiative at an uncertain time, following the postponement of Monday’s Merseyside derby and the subsequent round of fixtures due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The cancellation of matches threatens a significant impact on North Liverpool Foodbank, which receives approximately 25 per cent of its donations from matchday collections.

The Reds first-team squad and LFC Foundation has committed to jointly donating £10,000 per game for the four remaining league fixtures scheduled to be played at Anfield in 2019-20 to ensure the foodbank can continue to function.
