Re: Food Bank
There was a problem last year as they let us down at the last
minute as they were full up and wanted no more donations. This despite giving a collection date.
The Homeless charity took what they needed which still left a massive amount of donations piled up in reception which posed a problen having a home game the next day.
Calls were made to several charities and finally they went to deserving people.
Our volunteer joiner and his wife making several trips in their car to deliver.

Re: Food Bank
There will be something but it's BAFC Community are running it. I think it's more schools based and the idea comes from a youngster inspired by Marcus Rashford. As a Trust we will obviously support that as much as we can.
We are going for something a bit different first Christmas which Lancaster Dave has been working on and info I think has been released today. We are very excited about that.
BAFC themselves, including staff and players are very supportive of both. We are keeping in contact to be sure it's all done in a joined up way.

Re: Food Bank
I don't know, to be honest I doubt it as the whole collection, delivery thing is more difficult because of Covid and the club is essentially shut. Also, it was difficult last year with volume etc and the Foodbank being inundated. But we haven't discussed it so I will find out. The club is certainly committed to helping the community at Christmas.
Meanwhile, see below if you haven't already.
