At St Mirren's home game against Dundee United on 26th August, the Paisley 2021 Stadium will be used as a collection point for food donations for the Renfrewshire Foodbank.
The players met with Elizabeth Alexander from the Foodbank at the St Mirren Training Ground in Ralston yesterday to hand over their donation ahead of this weekend's collection.
Speaking about the importance of food donations, Elizabeth said: "It's really important.
"People are relying on us to feed themselves and their families and without these donations we couldn't do the work we do.
"At the moment our numbers are higher than they have ever been, so the more donations we can get the better able we are to get a parcel of food to people who need it."
SMiSA committee member, Jim Crawford said: "It is important for the club to be involved in community activity and be a force for good.
"We need the people of Renfrewshire to see that it's not just a football club - it is part of the community."
A list of the items that Foodbank desperately needs can be found here.
