Brentford fans are invited to donate food items and money to help those in our community who are experiencing food poverty over the festive period.

A donation point run by Hounslow Community FoodBox will be open before the Bees kick off against Leeds United at Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday 14 December.

FoodBox provides emergency food, support and advice to people living in Hounslow. All food donations help support vulnerable people in our community with the means to make nutritious meals for themselves and their families.

In April this year, fans took time out of their pre-match routine to generously donate a total of 367 food items to FoodBox. £2,256 was donated and split between FoodBox and community initiatives supported by club partner Utilita Giving.

This weekend, fans are again invited to bring non-perishable items with them to the Gtech on matchday, and there is the option to contribute financially by cash or card.

Find the FoodBox team outside the box office by entrance B of the stadium from 2.30pm until kick-off at 4.30pm.

Items that FoodBox are most in need of this Christmas:

• Soup (tins/sachets)

• Tinned vegetables

• Tinned fish (tuna, mackerel, etc.)

• Pasta and pasta sauces

• Microwaveable pasta pouches

• Microwaveable rice

• Baked beans

• Biscuits

• Laundry washing powder

• Baby food

• Christmas treats

Thank you for your support in helping people in need this Christmas.
