For the second consecutive year, we've teamed up with club partners Anglian Home Improvements to host a food drive in support of Norfolk Community Foundation's Nourishing Norfolk.
Supporters are encouraged to bring donations to the stadium on Saturday, November 29, between 12pm and 3pm ahead of the league game against QPR.
In 2024, the drive was able to provide 1,500 meals and raised over £2,000 for vulnerable families across Norfolk. And this year, thanks to the 'Matched for Change' appeal, every £1 donation will be doubled from a £50,000 match fund.
Anglian Home Improvements' chief marketing officer Rachael Munby said: "Many Norfolk families are facing immense pressure with rising living costs, and the colder weather and Christmas can make this an even more expensive and stressful time.
"That’s why Anglian is so committed to supporting the vital work of Nourishing Norfolk. We urge everyone who can to join us in fighting food poverty this winter; with the ‘Matched for Change’ appeal from Norfolk Community Foundations, every single pound donated will be doubled, truly making your contribution go further.”
Corporate giving manager at Norfolk Community Foundation Sophie Berry added: "At the heart of Nourishing Norfolk is our belief in strengthening communities by ensuring everyone has access to good food. This vital partnership between Anglian Home Improvements and Norwich City will help to make a huge difference to those who are struggling right now.
"Their commitment, alongside the public’s good will and generosity, will empower our 25 affordable home hubs to provide essential support to those in need of our help, this Christmas and into the new year.”
On match day, you can take part by donating tinned goods, essential items and cash donations to support the 25 Nourishing Norfolk food hubs.
