Newcastle Foodbank opened in March 2013 and is one of the busiest foodbanks in the UK, providing more than 18,000 food parcels annually.
They offer emergency food assistance to people in the west end of Newcastle; which is one of the most economically and socially deprived areas in the North East.
“The festive period is a challenging time for many families across the city, and historically, this our busiest time of the year. It’s truly heartwarming to receive support from Celtic FC Foundation.
“Last year, the Foundation’s support helped Newcastle Foodbank to assist hundreds of families and individuals with food in December. This is a wonderful example of the Foundation’s engagement with charities to help local communities and people in their time of need.
“We are truly grateful to those who donate to the Foundation’s Christmas Appeal, as their generosity of spirit makes life that little easier for struggling households to cope at Christmas. Thank you for all your help and kind donations.”
