We are based in the Lower Deck Cafe, Tavistock to provide emergency food parcels to individuals and families in the local area who are experiencing financial hardship. We are open on Fridays between 10am and 2pm. Emergency parcels can be arranged during the week if required. In addition food and drinks are available from the cafe and information about a range of other services is provided.
