Perhaps the only thing that can outweigh the depressing fact that food banks have became a permanent feature of society over the past decade is the incredible efforts that volunteers go to in running them and providing such a lifeline to so many people.
The link between football and food banks is well established, from supporters of top-flight clubs to the clubs themselves further down, many of them community hubs in their own right.
Walthamstow FC of the Essex Senior League are offering free admission to this Saturday's home game against Woodford Town but are asking for donations to the Waltham Forest food bank.
And the following Saturday...
Food for Football | Bring goods to the turnstile and receive free admission on 11th December vs @FCRusthall at Erith Stadium KO 3.00pm. #UpTheDockers #WeAreErith @Bexley_Foodbank pic.twitter.com/usH5dGCzuQ
