Liverpool FC's community programme, Red Neighbours, has delivered hundreds of food hampers in support of vulnerable families struggling throughout the national lockdown.
The delivery, which is part of Red Neighbours’ ‘Breakfast Clubs to You’ initiative, provided families in need with essential food items and some goodies during the May half-term break.
Over the course of the half-term holiday, 220 food parcels were delivered to community centres, school hubs, foodbanks and local charities throughout Anfield and Kirkby areas – each containing enough food to feed a family of five for up to three days.
Food poverty – an issue greater than ever – has been identified as one of the club’s three main pillars of need during the current coronavirus pandemic alongside support for the NHS and key workers, and social isolation.
