New Food For All Charity Kitchen in UK.
The Food for All (FFA) charity team is now able to double the daily quantity of meals they prepare. Considering the growing demands on both FFA and the Manor, Bhaktivedanta Manor contributed £50,000 towards the cost of establishing FFA’s very own purpose built kitchen in the City of London. The FFA team are now distributing over 1200 plates of free prasad (vegetarian food) to the homeless community and university students every day.
FFA director Parasuram has called the new premises “Krishna’s Castle” due to its internal décor. “It is located in a great spot,” he explained, “and already we’ve had a number of people from nearby banks coming forward to help out in their free time! We plan to supply prasad to all the day centers and night shelters in London.
“The Castle is located in the heart of the student area, so we are planning to have four cargo rickshaws full of prasad going to SOAS, UCL, LSE and Kings University. We have built a rickshaw book exhibition complete with dioramas and video presentations. We also have an all-day Thursday Harinam and an evening program in the Castle’s temple room!” The address is Krishna Castle, Plumtree Court, 30 Holborn Viaduct, EC1A 2AT
