Crystal Palace Football Club and Palace for Life Foundation have teamed up with charity organisation City Harvest to provide quality meals for people in south London.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, Selhurst Park has remained eerily quiet, but two weeks ago the club’s kitchen came bustling back to life with the creation of the Palace Kitchen.
The brainchild of one of the club’s shareholders, Tom Walker, chefs are applying strict social distancing rules to prepare nutritious meals for those in the local community who might be struggling to access healthy food.
Just two weeks in and 1,500 meals are being cooked at the ground each week, with charity partner City Harvest delivering to frontline NHS workers, elderly and vulnerable people forced to stay at home, families facing food poverty and homeless people.
