Day Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 This is a challenging time for us all, and across the country food banks are working hard to maintain the provision of emergency food to those in crisis. With donations to Derby City Mission food bank being reduced, and an increase in demand, we know that you, our members will share our belief that those who have the least resources to cope with the Covid-19 crisis must not be forgotten at this time. Many families across the county may be forced to rely on food banks for the first time this year, with businesses either closing down or laying off staff. If you can, even if it's just the cost of a pie and a pint or even a match ticket, please donate and help us put a meal on a families table tonight. https://www.derbycitymission.org.uk/fundraisers/dcfc-fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I've already made one donation and intend to donate the cost of a pie or pint every time I sit down to watch one of the classic games on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Good man. One slight issue though. When I went to the donation page, it asked if I was a UK taxpayer. What is this tax that people speak of? I was under the impression that the government gives us money (for match tickets and nights out, of course), and not the other way round.

Mucker1884 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Thought my donation would show up as "£18.84 (inc. Gift Aid")... £15.70 doesn't quite have the same ring to it! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 £759 now, running out of words and gifs to use so will just say thank you so much. We’ve almost hit our £1000 target in less than 48hrs. This will help so many families during this difficult time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Well done everyone. When I suggested this to David I thought we would raise £1000, but in around 2-3 months. We could end up doing this in 2 or 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
