Clarets for Foodbanks this Saturday

Post by ClaretTony » Thu Aug 18, 2022 10:18 am

The Clarets for Foodbanks bins will be out this Saturday at 1:30 and will be manned by North Manchester Clarets. They will be in the usual places:

1. Club shop corner
2. Harry Potts Way by the away fans entrance
3. Ormerod Yard (alongside cricket club)

If you can spare any items, please drop them in the bin. The need, as you can imagine, is getting greater.

A quote from my friend Dave at Everton: "If every one of the 50,000 who go to Anfield, or the 30,000 who go to Goodison, brought one tin, no child in the city would go hungry that night."

Everyone is so appreciative of and grateful to the regulars, would be nice to get some more supporting this with donations.

Absolutely. Just one item! The difference it could make.

What time before the game will the bins be taken away? Just so I can plan the time I should get there with some donations.

Where can items be deposited if the bins have gone by the time I get there?

Approx 20 mins before kick off. We’ve offered to stay later provided the club could ensure quick access to the ground for the volunteers. It appears that’s not possible.
