Derry City food drive raises funds to support our Christmas appeal

Foyle Foodbank collection at the Derry City vs Shamrock Rovers match has raised over £1700 and 83kg of food to support families in need in the run-up to Christmas.

Volunteers from Foyle Foodbank and several local organisations gathered food and monetary donations ahead of Sunday’s game at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.

Thanks to everyone who donated and helped with the collection. “Derry City FC have been a long-time friend of Foyle Foodbank and I would like to once again thank them for their support – the football club is the beating heart of the community, and it’s fantastic to see it step up to help those who need it most.” Patricia O’Donnell, Fundraiser
