In a heartwarming display of community spirit, Celtic Football Club, through the efforts of the Celtic Foundation, turned Celtic Park into a beacon of hope and joy on Christmas Day.
The club offered a three-course meal and entertainment to 200 community members struggling amidst the cost of living crisis. The festive gesture was meant to provide not just sustenance but also a sense of belonging during the holiday season.
The highlight of the event was an unexpected visit from Brendan Rodgers. His presence was more than just a ceremonial appearance; it was a profound gesture of solidarity and support for those facing hard times. Rodgers’ decision to spend part of his Christmas at the event underscored the club’s commitment to its community roots and values.
Attendees, who were already grateful for the warm meal and festive atmosphere, would have been overjoyed to see the Celtic manager.
This Christmas initiative is just one of the many ways the foundation contributes to the community, reflecting the club’s ethos of unity and compassion.
As the guests enjoyed their meals and the company of each other, the atmosphere at Celtic Park was one of hope and celebration. The event wasn’t just about the food or the famous face; it was about community, connection, and caring for those in need.
