RANGERS fans are being urged to support a food bank collection at the next home game against Dundee.
The club's charity arm made an appeal for supporters to bring non-perishable groceries to the match at Ibrox on Saturday, September 15.
The collection will go to the foodbank centre at Ibrox Parish Church and Crookston Community Group, which provides a delivery service across Glasgow to those who have difficulty travelling to their local foodbank.
The Rangers Charity Foundation said: "Stocks are once again extremely low and demand is higher than ever, so any items you can bring to the game would be very much appreciated.
"The Foundation has organised a food collection point in the fan zone in the lead up to kick-off where volunteers will collect donations from supporters.
"The Food Banks welcomes all kinds of non-perishable food items but would be particularly pleased to receive donations of UHT milk, tinned meat, fish and vegetables and toiletries."
Claire McCunnie from the Ibrox Parish Church centre added: "We anticipate we’ll have fed 12,000 people by the end of the year, which is up from last year.
“Rangers supporters have been so generous in the past and we are so grateful for anything fans can bring along.”
Connal Cochrane, Director of the Rangers Charity Foundation added: “We have been overwhelmed over the last few seasons by the amount of food donated at our matchday collections and hope our fans will once again show their generous spirit and bring along a few groceries that can help replenish the food bank’s shelves.”
If you would like to help but are not attending the game, the charity will accept food donations to their offices at Argyle House, Ibrox Stadium during office hours until 5pm on Friday. If you have any questions, contact the Foundation on 0141 580 8775 or e-mail rangerscharity@rangers.co.uk
