Fighting Waste. Saving the planet. One meal at a time.

Working with local stores in East Devon, FareShare South West and Exeter Food Action, we save perfectly good, in-date food from going to waste and distribute it to the community to be enjoyed.

Our Purposes

• To collect edible, in-date, surplus retail food destined for waste from local food retailers or producers and share it in the local community free of charge.
• To support local food banks and community food projects by providing them with collected food.
• To build a community of volunteers who feel valued and safe.
• To strengthen our community by helping reduce isolation and loneliness through sharing food.
• To support people within our communities affected by food poverty both directly through referrals to food banks and indirectly through signposting to relevant & appropriate agencies.
• To act sustainably and to aim for zero carbon in all activities and actions.

We have 3 hubs in East Devon.

Colyton: We offer food at the Reece Strawbridge Centre on Thursday night and Sunday afternoon.

Seaton: We offer food at the Seaton Community Larder at 19 Queen Street every evening except Thursday & Sunday. Additionally we also open Thursday afternoon and Saturday morning. We also stock the Seaton Library Community Fridge which is open when the library is open.

Sidmouth: We offer food on weekday nights (Monday to Friday) in the foyer of Sidmouth Methodist Church. We also work with Sidmouth Voluntary Services (SVS) to offer a Pop-In Community Larder in their cafe between 9-12 Monday to Friday when food is available. If food is on offer this will be posted by SVS on the Sidmouth Community Facebook page.
