THAT Foodbank.

07/03/2026

We know that sometimes it can be tricky to remember to donate to the Foodbank when you're out shopping, especially if you have the kids in tow!

By supporting us financially, you can help the Foodbank out without having to leave the house. Giving financially means that we can budget better for the year ahead, whilst also allowing us to buy the stock we need for our food parcels, hygiene and cleaning packs and home start packs.

If you're able to support us financially, you can do so via our website (https://www.thatfoodbank.com/blank-2) where you can make a one-off donation or set up a monthly donation. Any donation, whether big or small, is very much appreciated!

As always, if you're not in a position to support us currently, please consider sharing our post.

Thank you!

We'd like to say a massive thank you to the members of the Haldon Hill Harriers for their incredible donation which was delivered to the food bank last Wednesday.

All of the items donated will support us to deliver our goal in supporting local families and individuals in need.

If you're part of a sports club or organisation and would like to organise a collection for us or a fundraiser, please get in contact.

Are you passionate about assisting those who are struggling financially and the homeless and supporting them by providing essential items such as food and toiletries?

If so, you may be just who we're looking for to join our trustee board. We're looking for a brand new trustee to join our existing board to assist with leading and steering the charity to fulfil its aims.
The role is voluntary and unpaid, with flexible hours and may involve evening and weekend attendance at events and meetings. It also may involve travel and working from home.

Now that it's colder and the wet and windy weather is here, we like to include porridge oats and porridge pots in our food parcels. At the moment, our stocks of these are running low and we need your help.

If you're able to donate a bag of oats or a couple of porridge pots to us, we have a number of collection points across Newton Abbot, or you can drop them directly to us at our shop in Buckland.

Thank you for all your support, and as ever, please share our posts to spread the word.

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!

The food bank building is being decorated today, but there will not be any interruption to our usual opening hours (Monday to Friday 10am to 1pm).

Please bear with us whilst we put things back in place - we will do our best to keep things moving as normal, but it may take us a few days to restore everything.

Thank you.

As Christians prepare for Easter in the period of lent, we want to make sure that we are able to offer all children who use the food bank an Easter egg (or Easter treat) - our food bank manager loves Creme Eggs!

If you're able to help us by donating an Easter egg or treat, we can accept donations at our shop in Buckland (open Monday to Friday 10am to 1pm) or at various donation points around Newton Abbot.

We'd love all donations to be with us by Friday 20th March so we can give them out in food parcels in the two weeks leading up to Easter.

Thank you for all of your support.

Half term is here and we know it can feel like a lot of pressure — especially with the cost of living still hitting hard.

See the money saving guide which may help through the week ahead. Also check for free events at the libraries, museums, community spaces and parks 🌳🍄🌤️🪁📚🧡
