THAT Foodbank.

If you're able to donate anything to us at the moment, we'd be grateful for donations of any of the following things. We know things are tough for lots of people at the moment, but any and all donations make a huge difference to our work in supporting residents across the Teignbridge District.

We have a number of collection points across Newton Abbot or you can drop them off directly to us at our shop in Buckland.

If you're not able to donate at the moment, please consider sharing our post as others may be able to donate.

Thank you to everyone who supports us!

It's Volunteers' Week and we'd like to shout about our incredible volunteers who go above and beyond to serve the communities, individuals and families of the Teignbridge District.

We have a team of 49 volunteers who between them gave approximately 8,000 hours of their time in the past year to make our work possible. To put that in perspective, that's over 5000 standard length football matches!

There's always opportunities to volunteer with us. At the moment, we're looking for volunteers to help us run our Community Store which opens this week! To find out more about the role, visit our website (https://www.thatfoodbank.com/vacancies) or get in touch today.

And to all our existing volunteers - thank you again!

We have a large amount of excess fruit and vegetables and bread that's been donated to us. We won't give it all away in our food parcels in the next couple of days so if you'd like to come and collect some from our shop in Buckland between 10am and 1pm, please bring your own bags. No referral is needed and whilst we do not expect it, a donation would be appreciated, however small.

Please note that the food bank will be closed on Monday 25th May 2026 due to the late May bank holiday.

Our team will not be available until Tuesday 26th May when we re-open at 10am. We thank you for your patience during this time and wish you an enjoyable bank holiday in the sunshine!

We've still got some eggs, rolls, milk and some fruit and veg which we'd like collected today. Please bring your own bags and a donation if you're able to.

*PLEASE NOTE THIS IS COLLECTION ONLY*

We have been having a lot of referrals for Home Start packs in the past few weeks, and our stocks are starting to run low. There are many items that we offer to clients who are moving into permanent flats and houses who have previously been in temporary accommodation, but in order for us to continue delivering this service, we need your help.

At the moment, we are most in need of:
- Kettles and toasters
- Hand towels and tea towels
- Tin openers
- Toilet brushes and dustpan and brushes (NEW ONLY PLEASE!)

If you are unable to support us at this time, please share our post with family and friends as it helps spread the word around.

Thank you!
