Aston Villa fans have been heaping praise on the club after their latest announcement.
This comes after the official Villa Twitter account shared a post on their page revealing that 850 packed lunches that were planned to be sold for Villa’s weekend match against Chelsea at Villa Park are now going to be donated to numerous homeless charities.
Are you proud of Villa for this gesture?
Yes
No
This comes as a result of all Premier League matches being postponed until early April due to the recent viral outbreak.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Villa fans who were delighted with this latest news.
Here’s a sample of Villa fans praising their club:
850 staff packed lunches and hot food for tomorrow’s postponed game is being donated to support homeless charities.

With the game at Villa Park now not taking place, this has laid waste to a lot of food that would otherwise be bought and eaten by both sets of fans. But now that Villa have announced that they will be donating the food to numerous homeless charities, this has earned them plenty of praise from lots of Villa supporters.
What a club.

What do we think?
This is a fantastic gesture from the club as to make sure that the food at Villa Park does not go to waste. This shows that the club are willing to help others instead of just getting rid of the food elsewhere. It would be great to see other clubs across England follow in Villa’s footsteps with similar gestures.
