Foodbank at AFC Bournemouth – What a match!

19th January 2018

Foodbank Volunteers at AFC Bournemouth Football

We couldn’t be more pleased to be partnering with Bournemouth’s very own Premiership football team.

AFC Bournemouth have begun to support the Foodbank’s efforts to help those who are in need across the Bournemouth area. You can read their blog about it here.

Just last week, we were privileged to be visited by top AFC Bournemouth striker, Callum Wilson, who lent a hand in our warehouse.

You can listen to him talk about the importance of the Foodbank in an interview with Sky Sports news here.

 

 

But Callum wasn’t the only one! Fans and players helped out by donating to the Foodbank ahead of Sunday’s game against Arsenal.

Who knows, perhaps this had something to do with the Cherries’ win over the Gunners…?

 

 

We’re so thankful for all of the support – from fans, players, and of course from the football club itself. Thank you so much!
