Free food for Copenhageners this Christmas in Parken

Parken Stadium will hand out free food to thousands of Copenhageners on Christmas Eve. The club is collaborating with Stop Spild Lokalt to provide free food bags in the national stadium.

From 10:30pm on Saturday, tons of free food will be available to collect from Parken at the Stop Spild Lokalts Madoase stall, which is located under the C Stand on Øster Allé. Everyone is welcome to pop by and collect a free bag of food.
 
During 2023, more than 80 tonnes of food has been distributed from the Food Oasis in Parken, This weekend F.C. Copenhagen and Stop Spild Lokalt hope to feed up to 4,000 Copenhageners.

Director Jacob Lauesen is pleased that Parken can contribute to this initiative.
 
"Our strategy includes being there for Copenhageners and making the city even better. Not least for those who need a helping hand," says Jacob.

"Stop Spild Lokalt are a fantastically meaningful partner for us, and we are proud and happy to be able to help many Copenhageners have a slightly better Christmas, while fighting food waste at the same time. We are very much looking forward to it."
 
The free food distribution is a collaboration between Parken and Stop Spild Lokalt and is a rewarding project for both parties, says Rasmus Erichsen, CEO of Stop Spild Lokalt.
 
“Christmas is a hard time for many," says Rasmus. "That is why we are happy that this year we again have a good cooperation with Parken, where together we can distribute many tons of food to Copenhageners who need it."
