Donate
One in four Devon families now struggle to afford food, and cases of malnourishment are rising. A better way is possible, and our community is quietly creating that better reality in the background, but whilst in transition, we are increasingly reliant on donations to keep local families fed. A financial donation, however small, goes much further than a donation of food at the supermarket. Five pounds to Food in Community unlocks produce with a retail value of over £25, and saves organic, often locally grown food from being wasted. Because of the sometimes short time scale between picking and eating, gleaned produce is often fresher and more nutritious than anything you can find in the shops, so don’t let this valuable resource go to waste.
Cash donations also contribute to humdrum but vital stuff such as food, transport, insurance, rent, maintenance and repairs, training, web hosting, etc. Yes we bulk purchase local produce where we can afford it, from ethical businesses who employ people locally and support wildlife friendly agriculture. Some are B Corps, many are certified organic by the Soil Association. The load is shared by other community minded grant funders. Please contact us if you would like Food in Community’s bank details to make a bank transfer, or to set up a regular donation. You can also visit our Peoples Fundraising page or donate by card or cash at our events. Thank you!
The circular economy is built into the DNA of Food in Community and we love reciprocity! If you have something else to offer, please get in touch via our Contact Form
