The East Algarve Football Club charity work continues with a number of projects on the go helping the needy and vulnerable in the Algarve and further afield.
One recent project just completed was a plea to help people a long way from Portugal: an appeal to all members for football kits to send to Africa.
Kitaid, based in the UK, were contacted by Steve Johnson and we started the work collecting kit. In addition to some of our old team kits individual members have also donated, so a big thank you to everyone who contributed.
The appeal resulted in us collecting over 270 items to send to Africa, including the following:
Football Shirts x 93
Football Shorts x 85
Football Socks x 55
Football boots x 14
Trainers x 14
Bags x 3
Bibs x 11
Goalkeeper Gloves x 3
A huge thank you to Steve Jones who drove the kit back to the UK and handed it all to the Kitaid representative.
Another proud moment for our Club helping others to enjoy the beautiful game.
Thank you.
