The last available match we had to hold a collection for the Hammersmith & Fulham Foodbank was the Wolves game at the beginning of February as we don’t collect at early kick offs or evening games.
When we realised that the next convenient game would not be until the end of March against Burnley, something had to be done!
Due to the generosity of Chelsea supporters at previous games, we had accumulated a sizeable amount of cash and with a donation from CST funds we set off to load up with food from local supermarkets.
In the morning of Friday, 23rd February with two car loads of food, CST reps set off to the Hammersmith & Fulham Foodbank warehouse in Hammersmith to donate our shopping.
Over the course of just over a year from January 2023 to February 2024, Chelsea supporters, via the CST, have donated 706 kilos of food to the Foodbank, something we should all be proud of.
The generosity continued with a bucket collection of £110 in the Stamford Bridge Tea Bar before the WSL match v Arsenal, the most money we have ever collected at a single game.
Thanks go to all Chelsea supporters who have donated to the foodbank.
