The Palace Kitchen has this week prepared its 5,000th meal since it reopened at the start of December, providing nutritious food for people in need across south London.
The Crystal Palace Football Club and Palace for Life Foundation project had originally planned to reach that milestone by Christmas, but chefs at Selhurst Park have been able to increase their output, thanks to the generous support of the Palace fanbase and an additional corporate donor.
The club committed to covering the cost of ingredients, staff and packaging throughout December, but a fundraising page to support the initiative has now raised almost £10,000 to help expand the project’s reach even further.
