Merseyside derby generates record-breaking foodbank donations
A total of 2.2 tonnes of non-perishable foods and toiletries was collected by Fans Supporting Foodbanks volunteers and Liverpool FC staff before kick-off, with all donations going to the North Liverpool Foodbank.
The items collected mean North Liverpool Foodbank will have an extra 158 emergency three-day food parcels to give to families in need, providing more than 6,300 meals for 630 local people in crisis within the L4, L5 and L6 areas.
North Liverpool Foodbank co-ordinator Victoria Ponsonby said: “This is a huge amount, and proves what our city’s football fans can achieve when they come together.
