Leeds United supporters have once again proved that football is about more than just goals, points, and league tables.
In the middle of the festive season, Whites fans have stepped up to support people in need by backing the annual Leeds Fans Foodbank outside Elland Road.
As many families across the city struggle with rising bills and food costs, Leeds fans have put others before themselves.
Week after week, supporters arriving for matches have brought bags of food, tins, and festive items to help those who are finding life hard at Christmas.
The scenes outside the stadium have been powerful. Fans young and old have queued up before kick-off to donate what they can, showing that the club’s values stretch far beyond the pitch.

Volunteers say the kindness shown by supporters has made a real difference.
Every tin, packet, and box donated helps ease the pressure on families who are struggling to put meals on the table.
What has stood out most is the togetherness. The same passion that fills Elland Road on matchday has been seen in the generosity shown outside the ground.
Fans have shown that being part of Leeds United also means looking after the wider community.
