Exeter Food Action works with wholesalers, manufacturers and retailers, rescuing good, nutritious food, thus preventing it from going to landfill, incineration or being used as animal food.
All food received is donated to organisations that support more vulnerable people in Exeter and across Devon, including those affected by hunger, homelessness, family breakdown, low incomes, poverty, benefit uncertainty, abuse, poor nutrition and those receiving palliative care. We share food with soup kitchens, hostels, food banks, community cafés, schools, hospices, and others. Any group can access our food as long as they are local to us (within a 50 mile radius of Exeter), and do not make a profit from the sale of the food. Food is never resold or given to individuals.
In the first 6 month of 2023 we provided just under 70,000 kgs of food to over 50 food banks and community groups, supporting 1,000 people every week. It’s a record, although one we’d rather not have because it reflects ever rising demand. The 70,000 kgs figure exceeds the volume of food that we provided in the whole of 2022.
