26 Sep ONE FAN, ONE CAN!

The Huddersfield Town Foundation and the Huddersfield Town Supporters Association (HTSA), ‘Fans for Foodbanks’ initiative returns on Saturday!

The ‘Fans for Foodbanks’ appeal returns to the John Smiths’ Stadium on Saturday 28 September for the game against Millwall.

Huddersfield Town Foundation and HTSA ‘One Fan, One Can’ campaign for the ‘Fans for Foodbanks’ initiative collected over 630 items at the Sheffield Wednesday fixture.

This has enabled the local foodbanks to provide a weeks’ worth of food for over 22 people!

The Huddersfield Town Foundation and HTSA would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to fans who support this campaign for their generosity.

Supporters are urged to bring donations to the Millwall ‘Fans for Foodbanks’ collection, to continue making a beneficial impact for those in need.

The Huddersfield Town Foundation and HTSA will be splitting the ‘Fans for Foodbanks’ donations for the Millwall fixture between Batley Foodbank and The Welcome Centre – with both foodbanks in desperate need of donations, currently with empty shelves.

There will be three collection points at the John Smith’s Stadium for supporters to make their donations; one at the Stadium Health & Fitness Club entrance, one by the players entrance, near the South End of The Core Stand and an additional collection point for corporate guests inside the John Smith’s Stadium reception entrance.

All donations are welcomed with the foodbanks desperately requiring:

– Tinned meat / fish
– Pasta Sauces
– Tinned tomatoes
– Tinned potatoes
– Breakfast cereal
– Coffee / Tea
– Sugar
– Packets of mash
– Tinned soup
– Packets of cup a soup
– Jam
– Cordial

The branded bins will be in situ from 1pm up until kick-off and fans are asked to bring along any long shelf life food they wish to donate – unfortunately, we cannot accept fresh foods.

All donations from the game will be split between Batley Foodbank and The Welcome Centre for distributions in the local community for those who require assistance.

The food donations will be organised and distributed by Huddersfield Town Foundation staff and HTSA members to the foodbanks at the John’s Smith Stadium on Wednesday 2 October at 11am. The Town Foundation and HTSA would appreciate any volunteers wishing to help assist with this process.
