Stevenage Football Club & Foundation have teamed up with local food bank Foodshed to support collection of toys and treats for local children that may go without this Christmas…
Donations are being requested for new and unopened toys and Christmas treats, such as selection boxes, for children of all ages that will be collated by the Foundation and donated to the Toyshed on Monday 18th December, so they can reach local families in need during the festive period.
Supporters wishing to make donations can do so the following ways:
|
At The Lamex Stadium during the week and drop at the Foundation office, located in the South Stand |
|
At Stevenage FC Academy next to Shephalbury Park, and the Academy staff will be collecting from parents of children in our Pathway too |
|
At The Lamex Stadium vs Exeter City on Sat 16th Dec and drop them at the KidZone located in West Stand Car Park |
Stevenage FC Foundation Chief Executive, Joe Goude said, “It is great to be able to return with our annual request for support from our amazing fan base, to support those in our community who need a little support at Christmas.
“We’ve been through a health pandemic, and the cost-of-living crisis that began last year continues to make it hard for all within our community, but particularly those already in a position where they have to make difficult decisions about where they spend their money.
“These types of campaigns not only ensure that those most in need get something that could make a world of difference on Christmas morning, but also reinforce the message that no-one in our community should feel alone.
“If we can replicate the generosity and support we’ve seen in previous years, we can make a huge impact this Christmas and beyond”.
