Liverpool Football Club's foodbank appeals to support people living in food poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic have raised a total of £122,000.
The donations are made up of £52k from the club’s Unity Is Strength Facebook appeal, which included contributions from fans, partners, Official Liverpool Supporters’ Club Norway and the Steven Gerrard Foundation. A further £70k was donated by OLSC Norway, which hosted a second LFC foodbank appeal in November.
The funding will be split across the eight Trussell Trust foodbanks in the Liverpool City Region - Wirral, Southport, South Liverpool, Runcorn, Widnes, St Helens, South Sefton and Knowsley - with each foodbank receiving £14k.
