Norwich City are calling on fans to get behind a campaign from Ipswich Town Fans Supporting Foodbanks, to tackle food poverty in East Anglia.
Fans are being asked to put club allegiances to one side in the battle against food poverty, with a fundraising page set up for Canaries to donate to FIND, a foodbank in Suffolk. Concurrently, Ipswich Town supporters will be encouraged to support City’s affiliated partner the Norwich foodbank.
With the East Anglian Derby on Saturday, December 16 concluding the group’s first year of collecting, ITFC FSF are looking to galvanise both sets of fans to take a stand against food poverty in East Anglia.
Organiser of the Ipswich Town group, Charlie Nixon, says: "The generosity of fans both home and away throughout 2023 has been overwhelming. We are so proud of our fellow fans in supporting our endeavour to tackle food poverty in East Anglia and hope that this latest initiative will look beyond club colours to make a tangible difference to the lives of those struggling in Norfolk and Suffolk."
We encourage both sets of fans to join with us to show that #HungerDoesntWearClubColours on social media, and to raise as much money for foodbanks during the hard winter months where resources are needed more than ever.
