'Man City fans have saved lives' - MCFC Fans Foodbank Support call for donations ahead of run-in

We might have just entered the final international break of the season, but that doesn't mean Manchester City fans are pausing their off-field community initiatives until the Blues return to action.

MCFC Fans Foodbank Support have become a staple of matchdays at the Etihad Stadium this season, collecting food donations for Manchester Central Foodbank from their gazebo at the top of Sir Howard Bernstein Way.
