"The Larder" at St Christopher's Church are having a food collection day outside the Oval turnstiles this Saturday prior to our fixture against Coleraine
Last season, on Saturday 22 March 2014 (home game v Cliftonville), we did a food collection for The Larder food bank at St Christopher's Church where the Glentoran supporters filled four wheelie bins with tins and packets of food and also donated £100 cash in the buckets. This was a lot more than the volunteers at St Christopher's had hoped and prayed for.
The Larder helps local people in East Belfast who are struggling in the current climate with putting food on the table for their families. For one reason or another, some of our neighbours can no longer provide or afford current luxuries that some of us are lucky enough to enjoy. After speaking with our friends in The Larder, it was decided we would try and make this an annual event at Glentoran and hopefully we can all do our bit to provide a little extra for people less fortunate.
On Saturday when Coleraine visit the Oval, We will be holding another collection to help boost the stores in The Larder with tins or packets of food. If you can spare just one product, please bring it along and put it into one of the bins that will be situated at the turnstiles before entering the ground. There will be volunteers collecting food from approx 1pm until kick off.
Your help is very much appreciated.
