Story...

The Beginning.

Born from compassion. Powered by community.

THAT Foodbank began in 2011, stepping up to support rough sleepers in urgent need. But the need grew and so did we.

At the request of Social Services and the local council, we evolved into a lifeline for families across Teignbridge.

In 2014, we made Buckland our home and we’ve been serving the community from there ever since.

Every food parcel, every bit of hope we offer, is made possible by people like you through donations, fundraising and grants.
