FOODBANK FUNDRAISING UPDATE 25TH NOVEMBER 2023
We've just made the latest donations of £1,332.97 to Manchester South Central Foodbank and an identical sum of £1,332.97 to Stretford Foodbank. These donations were funded by members like you who enter our Foodbank prize draws. If you don't currently take part in the draws please consider doing so to support our local community charities here. You've helped us raise over £100k in total and the vast majority of fundraising now comes from our prize draws although matchday donations are still important too.
Manchester South Central chose to use our latest donation to fund their kids' Xmas appeal campaign - purchasing 70 x Advent Calendars and 500 x Selection Boxes bringing a little happiness to children of families facing financial challenge.
Of course they continue their bread and butter work of providing food and other essential supplies to local families but I'm sure we all will agree it is really heart-warming to be able to contribute a bit of a treat for kids facing tough circumstances at this time of year.
We run prize draws on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and generally have a small group of loyal supporters so the chances of winning prizes are actually very good with multiple members who enter regularly having recorded more than 10 wins! However to keep up our support of foodbanks we really need "regular players" who enter the Foodbank draws every week so if that could be you, we and the recipients of the support the Foodbanks offer, would be really grateful. Check out the draws on the link below. The dedicated Foodbank draws have *FOODBANK* in the title: https://www.imust.org.uk/Competition
For those of you who also attend matches at Old Trafford we will be promoting our match day collections in December and will be doing a big promotional push on that so appreciate support on social media when that starts. Follow our MUFC Fans' Foodbank account here on Twitter/X: @mufcfoodbank
Many thanks for your continued support
