Abstract
Crystal Palace Football Club and Palace for Life Foundation are reopening The Palace Kitchen to provide healthy and nutritious meals to thousands of vulnerable local people.

The club chefs will prepare 350 meals a day for four days throughout December. The club are working with Croydon Council to identify vulnerable families and individuals in need of additional help.

Club Chairman Steve Parish said: “As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and in the run up to Christmas, we are committed to making life a little easier for as many people as possible. 

"It is a project that the whole club is getting behind – from the shareholders, to the players, staff, commercial partners – and I’m sure our supporters will also be keen to contribute, as they always do for such good causes, which will enable us to help more people in need, for longer."

Project partners City Harvest and Croydon Voluntary Action will distribute the meals. During the first national lockdown the Palace kitchen delivered 16,500 meals to vulnerable people.

Stephen Winningham, vice chairman of City Harvest London, added: "City Harvest is proud to partner again with Crystal Palace in ensuring that individuals and families in need receive nutritious free meals this December.

“Crystal Palace supports its nearby communities brilliantly through creating these meals, and we’re pleased to assist by rushing the meals to local charities that serve them."
