Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagicAdele paid a special visit Thursday to a community kitchen for Grenfell fire survivors in London.

She snapped photos with some of the women at the Hubb Community Kitchen, which was started in the wake of the tragic fire and now prepares 200 meals a day for local groups, including elderly people’s homes, homeless shelters and women refugees.

One of the women, Munira Mahmoud, wrote on Instagram, “Had pleasure cooking for Adele Laurie blue 2 days in a row wow…. What a blessing … She beautiful kind and very Humble Lady.”

Adele has been a longtime advocate for victims of the June, 2017 Grenfell Tower blaze, which claimed the lives of more than 70 people. In June of this year, she paid tribute to the victims at a one-year anniversary ceremony.

According to People, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry also visited the Hubb Community Kitchen Thursday, though there were no photos. Meghan supported the kitchen as one of her first major roles as a royal. She also helped launch Together: Our Community Cookbook, as a way to raise money for the Grenfell victims. The success of the book has enabled the Hubb Community Kitchen to stay open for seven days a week and broaden its reach.
