PROVIDE DEVON 

Provide Devon uses surplus food (supplemented by purchased fresh produce) donated by businesses and homes by redirecting it to those in financial need, without judgement or discrimination. Support to disadvantaged or marginalised individuals and families is given, meeting the basic requirements of clients in a one off crisis food hamper.
