Crystal Palace Football Club and the Palace for Life Foundation have reopened The Palace Kitchen - the pioneering project that provides healthy and nutritious food to thousands of local people in need.

Initially, club chefs will prepare around 350 meals a day, four days a week, throughout December with a commitment to create more than 5,000 meals before Christmas.

The club will continue to work with Croydon Council to identify vulnerable individuals and families in the greatest need of support. This will include those in emergency housing, the elderly, families and homeless people.

The club has committed to covering costs in December including purchasing fresh ingredients, staff costs of preparing the nutritious meals, safe packaging and labelling.

The meals will then be distributed by valued project partners City Harvest and Croydon Voluntary Action, with charity City Harvest covering the costs of distribution.

Help us to keep the Palace Kitchen running this winter and provide food for the most vulnerable people in south London.
