The Liverpool striker donated food to the centre alongside the club’s Red Neighbours team, to be used in emergency food parcels which help to support local families living in food poverty.
According to national foodbank charity Trussell Trust, the use of foodbank parcels nationally has risen by 73 per cent in the last five years, with 1.6million food parcels provided in the past year alone.
“It has been eye-opening to come here and learn about the work that the North Liverpool Foodbank does and the high number of families in Anfield that access their vital support,” said Sturridge.
