According to the BBC, Kensington Palace said that Prince William and Princess Kate heard about what happened, and wanted to send support. Pecan confirmed to PEOPLE that the Prince and Princess of Wales donated £3,500, which is about $4,260.
A donation page for Southwark Foodbank, which is run from Peckham High Street in southeast London, explained that the warehouse’s door and shutter were also damaged in the theft, and would need to be repaired. The food bank supports about 100 households a week, and works to ensure that those in need are fed as nutritiously as possible, its website says.
While the Metropolitan Police haven’t made any arrests, per the BBC, Pecan CEO Peter Edwards further praised the community for an “overwhelming reaction” of support.
“We thank them all for their support at the end of a very tough week,” Edwards told the outlet.
“We are delighted that after such a difficult time for their own family, the Waleses thought of us and the people of the community in need across Southwark, and that’s testament to their decency and compassion,” he added.
On Sept. 9, Princess Kate released a video message on social media to share that she completed chemotherapy treatment. The three-minute clip was shot by Will Warr in August in Norfolk, home to the family’s country house, Anmer Hall, and the Princess of Wales was joined in the footage by Prince William and their children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
“As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” she said in the message, which featured footage of her and her family exploring the great outdoors. “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”
“The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,” Princess Kate said in part. “With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.”
