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 for a family £54.

During October our loyal team of volunteers have packed and distributed over 240 parcels that provided food for 464 people. This is a reduction in demand for our services when compared to the same period last year, which is good news!  Communication between the partner agencies that we work with continues to strengthen, this ensures that those in need can access the support they need to address their financial insecurities.
