Football supporters from the three Donegal supporter groups are set to designate a food bank collection point for an upcoming game in Ballybofey.
The ‘We Care Food Bank’ is a Community based voluntary organisation set up to meet the emerging social needs of the people in across the county.
The food bank works in partnership with community organisations who identify people in need and refer them to the food bank.
Now the Liverpool, Manchester City and Finn Harps supporters groups are set to jointly sponsor the Finn Harps against Shamrock Rovers fixture on Friday.
“It’s good to know that they are groups or organisations within our county that care about people’s welfare,” said Billy Banda of the ‘We Care Food Bank Donegal’.
“Liverpool and Manchester City Supporters Clubs have shown that there’s humanity amongst us in this great county.”
“We thank you for helping our causes,” he added.
Vans will be manned outside the ground from 6.30pm by volunteers from all the major parties involved.
David Moen, Liverpool FC Supporters Club, Donegal said: “Following the Irish launch of Fans Supporting Foodbanks last September, the Liverpool FC Donegal branch are proud to join up with our Manchester City counterparts and Finn Harps in a League of Ireland first to help those most in need in our county.”
Joe Doherty, Manchester City Supporters Club, Donegal added: “We are delighted to be playing our part, along with the Liverpool Supporters Club in the County and Finn Harps FC, to bring much-needed attention to this very worthwhile cause.
“We hope the Donegal football public supports the efforts of the ‘We Care Food Bank’.”
