>>>WHY:

In these difficult times, many are struggling with food insecurity - often due to financial hardship, mental health struggles, or sudden life changes. By supporting Provide Devon, you can make an immediate impact on those in our community who have nowhere else to turn.

Maddie Bailey (Assistant Manager at Provide Devon) says: "This January has been one of our busiest months, with a significant rise in requests for emergency food parcels, particularly for families with children. Our charity provides one-time food parcels during crisis moments, but we’re facing difficult choices, often having to decide between sending out food or toiletry items because the need is so urgent. Many community hubs and social services refer people to us, and it’s important to note that no one is a repeat user—this shows just how many families are reaching a breaking point and need immediate, emergency support."
