On 15th January, InterContinental Malta, in collaboration with its parent company Eden Leisure Group, presented a cheque for €23,400 to the Love Kitchen, a subsidiary of the Millennium Chapel in Paceville. This amount was raised through various restaurant initiatives throughout 2024, adding to an earlier donation of €10,000 made by the company in July, bringing the total contribution to €33,400.
The Love Kitchen plays a crucial role in supporting individuals who are homeless or in need of a warm meal and companionship. Father Hilary, Director of the Love Kitchen, expressed his gratitude, saying:
"As Mother Theresa said, if you cannot feed one hundred people, feed just one. We try to follow this at the Love Kitchen with the help of people like those at Eden Leisure and the InterContinental Malta."
Kate de Cesare, Chief Sustainability Officer of Eden Leisure Group and Chair of the Eden Leisure Foundation, highlighted the impact of the initiative: “The Love Kitchen, under Fr Hilary’s inspiring leadership, offers not only nourishment but also dignity and hope to individuals facing hardship. We are honoured to contribute to this worthy cause and stand with their mission to make a meaningful difference in our community.”
The Eden Leisure Group, headquartered in St. Julian’s, is committed to community outreach. Through its Eden Leisure Foundation, the company frequently supports various charitable organisations across Malta, providing both financial contributions and in-kind support.
