Fans can bring their donations to the south east corner of the stadium, adjacent to the Fan Zone site and opposite the A Love Supreme and Roker End Cafe building.

Donations of non-perishable food items, such as tinned goods, biscuits, tea, coffee, cereals, as well as toiletries will be welcomed by volunteers.

A number of foodbank collections have taken place already this season at the stadium.
