Maguire has been on a mission to spread some festive cheer to the pensioners in Mosborough, Sheffield.
The 27-year-old recruited the help of brother Joe, sister Daisy and his mother Zoe.
He paid for the food parcels - which included bread and milk - and personally delivered them to the residents.
Maguire admitted he felt 'proud' to 'give a little back' to the community that he grew up in.
He said: "My family and I are really proud to be able to organise the food parcels in Mosborough.
"This community gave us so much growing up, so we are all really happy to give a little bit back.
"It has been a strange and difficult year for everyone.
"I hope that Christmas can give everyone a few days of happiness."

Maguire - who kicked off his professional career with Sheffield United - has also decided to sponsor the first football team that he played for.
He will provide Brunsmeet Athletic FC with a brand new Puma kit and other accessories.
And he has already given special Christmas gift boxes to around 25 players in the Under-8 team.
