As we all approach the festive season, Carshalton Athletic would like to take this opportunity to help those within that community that need a little assistance.

As such, for the next three home games, starting when Tooting and Mitcham United visit this Saturday (November 23), the club is asking both sets of fans to help with a collection for the local food bank.

There is no donation too small because if each person brings just one item then that will make a difference within the community.

"Please can Carshalton and Tooting supporters come together on this project to do a little bit to help those less fortunate that us,” said Carshalton chairman Paul Dipre.

“The club will be doubling whatever is donated with a bulk purchase from a local supermarket."

Popular Items to donate include long-life orange juice, tinned rice pudding, tinned spaghetti and dried milk.

“This initiative is very important to the chairman and I as the club is at the heart of the community and ideally placed to help those that may need a little support, particularly at this festive time of year,” added Carshalton player/manager Peter Adeniyi.

“Football fans are truly special people and I have no doubt that they will support this cause.”

Other produce ideas to help inspire include breakfast cereals, soup, pasta, rice, tinned beans/meat/vegetables/fruit, tea or coffee, sugar, biscuits and snacks.

Carshalton Athletic vs Tooting and Mitcham United in the FA Trophy third qualifying round is on Saturday 23rd November (kick-off 3pm).
