Exeter Food Action rescues excess food from shops and suppliers, and redistributes it to charity organisations that feed people in Exeter.
We work with wholesalers, manufacturers and retailers, who supply us with food that they would otherwise throw away. Together we stop perfectly eatable food going to landfill, incineration, anaerobic digestion, or being used as animal food.
All food received is donated to organisations that support more vulnerable people in Exeter, including those affected by hunger, homelessness, family breakdown, low incomes, poverty, benefit uncertainty, abuse, poor nutrition and those receiving palliative care. So 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, and do not make a profit from the sale of the food. Food is not resold or given to individuals.
Every year, we rescue over 30 tonnes of food, and save the groups that receive it over £80,000.
