Food Gathering & Deliveries
Our team harvest or collect and then redistribute fresh, mostly organic and surplus produce that is perfectly edible, but would otherwise be composted, ploughed in or thrown away.
Please contact us if you have produce to offer. If picking is potentially a barrier, we are happy to do this and have been working with farms for over ten years. Farm gleans are led by land workers with farm experience. Our friendly volunteer crew are well briefed and fully insured.
The fresh food that Food in Community’s volunteers gather enable all sorts of provision that help the Devon community, from our own fresh food boxes discreetly delivered to the doorstep, hot meals, to cooking clubs, to community events. Your support enables homeless people, care leavers, families and individuals in crisis, babies and children, adults and young people with disabilities, refugees and asylum seekers, people fleeing domestic abuse, able to enjoy nutritious fresh food.
Food in Community support established community food share groups in Totnes and villages, and community fridges, to ensure that occasional large gluts of very short-dated produce still benefit the community and don’t go to waste.
