The brand new £1billion Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is one of the most modern stadiums in world football.
And it will now be transformed to provide services for those needing help during the pandemic.
The basement car park is being used as a storage unit for London’s three largest food distributors – The Felix Project, FareShare and City Harvest.
They will pick up food from suppliers and deliver it to the communities in each London borough.
There it will be divided into parcels and dropped on the doorsteps of those in need.
The club’s official website claimed that this initiative is “just the starting point.”
Chairman Daniel Levy said: “As a club, we have always been clear about our commitment to the wider community – never has this been more important than it is now.
“We are immensely proud of the efforts of everybody involved in the fight against COVID-19 and see today as just the start of what we can do as a club to assist.”
