Volunteer at Hounslow Community Foodbox and Bees fan, Teresa said: "We are very happy with the friendship we have with Brentford Football Club, they are amazing supporters of the Hounslow Community Foodbox.

"One of the ways the club is helping, is to enable the donation of food at the Luton game tomorrow and Brentford fans are very generous people, so I am sure they will support the cause."

Teresa added: "We are sadly still having lots of referrals for us to help families throughout the borough. I am afraid the need is as great as ever."

Fans not attending the fixture are still able to donate. Brentford has donation boxes located in its Bees Superstore and in entrance C of Gtech Community Stadium.

Keira Meadus from Utilita Giving added: "We are incredibly grateful to Utilita and Brentford for allowing us to be a part of their partnership.

"There are few better ways to be seen by so many people and raise awareness than through football."

Perishable food items cannot be accepted.
