Exmouth Food Bank Statistics

• Approximately 40% of the food we give out is donated directly by churches, schools, local clubs, organisations, businesses and individuals.
• We are reliant on monetary donations to buy the additional items that are needed which includes bread, fresh fruit and vegetables.
• It costs about £6,000 per month to run the foodbank, although a team of 45 volunteers give their time for free.
• Our standard, one person, one week food parcel would cost about £29 and a family sized parcel £54.

In 2024 our loyal team of volunteers packed and distributed over 3100 parcels that provided food for 6,580 people.  During the summer months of 2025 we experienced a seasonal influx of homeless males, many seeking work in the local pubs & restaurants in Exmouth. We worked closely with East Devon District Council to ensure that, wherever possible, these individuals were able to come off the street & access temporary accommodation. In addition, particularly during August, we saw a sharp increase in families seeking help to provide food for their children during the summer holidays.
