The Green Brigade has once again stepped up with its annual foodbank drive, bringing a significant boost to those in need during the festive season. The initiative, which took place before Celtic’s match against Ross County, saw an incredible response from the Hoops’ support.

Announcing the outcome on social media on Monday evening, the fan group extended their gratitude:

“Big thank you to all who donated to our annual foodbank collection on Saturday. This enormous act of solidarity and generosity from the Celtic support will help those most in need this Christmas.”

The results speak volumes, with over £21,000 raised in cash donations alongside seven vans packed with food and toys. These contributions will be distributed to families in need across Scotland and Ireland, offering vital relief as the cost of living crisis continues to bite.

The Green Brigade’s foodbank initiative has become a staple of their activism, showcasing the power of Celtic’s fan base to rally around important causes. With poverty and hardship becoming increasingly widespread, their efforts provide a lifeline to many struggling families at this time of year.

The pre-Christmas campaign received a strong turnout from fans attending Saturday’s match, demonstrating the unity and generosity of the Celtic support. While such initiatives highlight the community’s commitment to helping others, they also underscore the stark realities of modern society, where acts of solidarity are often a necessity rather than a choice.

In a world where no one should have to go without, the Green Brigade’s efforts are a reminder of the club’s ethos of charity and support for the less fortunate. Their work deserves recognition, not just for the incredible sums raised but for the positive impact on lives during one of the toughest times of the year.
