Warriors fans will have the last chance to donate to the club’s Christmas Campaign to fuel the Worcester Foodbank at Saturday’s European Challenge Cup match against Pau at Sixways.
Warriors have been collecting much-needed items since players Chris Pennell and Justin Clegg launched the Christmas Campaign three weeks ago.
Collection boxes will again be placed outside the entrances to the East and West Stands at Saturdays match for further donations before the players deliver to the foodbank this week.
Fans who are not attending Saturday’s match can still support the Christmas Campaign by leaving donated items in the collection box in the main reception at the stadium on non-matchdays.
“This is something really important. As a club we are very keen to give something back to the local community,” Clegg said.
“It’s important that we recognise that there are people who are not as fortunate as we are as professional sportsmen. We are all in this together and the more we can help them, the better, particularly with Christmas coming.
“The players have started making donations but we want everyone to join in – supporters, visitors to the club, the whole of Worcester.”
The Christmas Campaign is one of the many projects that Warriors players are extensively involved in across Worcestershire through the Warriors Community Foundation.
Christmas items needed for the foodbank: Christmas puddings, mince pies, tinned custard, Christmas cake, new toys and children’s gifts, tinned ham (quality), tinned turkey (quality), tinned sausages, tinned potatoes, stuffing and gravy, cranberry sauce, Christmas treats and goodies.
Other urgently-needed items: strong carrier bags, coffee, fruit juice (long-life), milk (long-life), tinned rice, peanut butter, crackers, washing powder, shampoo, toilet cleaner, toilet rolls, sponge puddings, tinned fruit, tin openers.
Cash donations and gift cards are also accepted.
