Foodsave is one of the biggest redistributors of surplus food in the South West.
Working across East Devon, Mid Devon and Exeter, we work to reduce food waste within communities by giving it away for free to families.
Reducing food insecurity.
We provide free food to approximately 400 households each week, for free.
With the cost of living only increasing, we are tackling food insecurity whilst also helping the environment. And we’re open to anyone – no referrals needed.
Reducing food waste.
We save over 1.25 tonnes of food per week that would usually head to landfill.
Collecting over 100 times a week from local businesses, supermarkets and more, we are able to stop perfectly good food going to waste.
Why not get involved?
We operate over 100 collections a week, give away thousands of items of food per week, and facilitate deliveries to those who need it.
Why not join our network of volunteers? No commitment required, just help when you can!
