Okehampton Food Bank provides transparency and accountability to all of our donors by publishing frequent reports on how we use your donations.
While we gratefully accept both cash and food donations, monetary contributions are generally preferred, as they allow us to purchase the exact items we need most urgently. Food donations, though a tangible way for the community to come together and support the local food bank, can be more challenging to distribute efficiently. Nonetheless, we deeply appreciate all the ways our generous supporters choose to contribute and help those in need.
The Waitrose Okehampton customers and partners deserve our sincere gratitude for their steadfast support of their local food bank. Thank you.
If you wish to buy food and add it to our collection point this is situated in Waitrose supermarket after the checkouts. You can print a shopping list by downloading this page.
