Liverpool FC is scaling up its Unity Is Strength Community Response work to help those most in need during the current national lockdown.
The club, its community team Red Neighbours and official charity, LFC Foundation, have been working together since the outbreak of COVID-19 to support their local communities during these unprecedented and difficult times.
Over the last nine months, the club has donated more than £300,000 to the North Liverpool Foodbank and The Trussell Trust’s foodbank network across the Liverpool City Region, provided 42,000 freshly prepared free meals (1,000 per week) to support local families, made more than 1,000 calls to isolated members of the community, gifted 1,500 festive food hampers to local families – including a fresh turkey and all the trimmings for Christmas – and donated thousands of LFC items and sweet treats to key workers.
