Islanders are being asked to donate food and festive treats to help local families in need.
Guernsey’s football community is coming together once again to help local families in need at Christmas.
Victoria Park, Guernsey FA, Guernsey FC and Aztech Soccer are asking islanders to donate tinned and dried food, as well as festive treats.
Co-ordinator Hayley Vance says the inaugural appeal last year received a fantastic response, with 86 food hampers put together for local families.
"We were absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of islanders last Christmas.
"To be able to provide 86 food hampers to local families in our very first year was a fantastic achievement, and something everyone involved can be incredibly proud of.
"Christmas is a time for giving, but we also recognise that it can be an especially challenging time for families who are struggling to make ends meet.
"Our aim is to help ease some of that pressure and ensure as many families as possible can enjoy a little festive cheer - we'd love to make this year's appeal even more successful."
Donations can be dropped off at the designated food banks situated at the Guernsey FA offices, Victoria Park, between Saturday 14 November and Saturday 5 December.
