Manchester United Foundation and FareShare Greater Manchester continue to support local families

Manchester United Foundation, Manchester United FC and FareShare Greater Manchester have continued their partnership to support thousands of families ahead of the Easter holidays. 

Following on from the Santa’s Red Helpers appeal at Christmas, which saw 80,000 meals donated to those in need, the Foundation and FareShare Greater Manchester have once again joined forces to support families through the Foundation’s partner school network.  

Over the last eight weeks, 383,000 food items have been diverted by FareShare, for packing and distributed by Foundation and club staff to 40 schools across Greater Manchester. 

As the operation culminates ahead of the Easter holidays, former Manchester United and England defender Wes Brown once again offered his support by attending Manchester Enterprise Academy (MEA) Central in South Manchester, to help deliver the food hampers and meet staff and students.
