The Plymouth Foodbank is helping people who are in financial crisis by providing them with much needed food and also a listening ear and useful advice. The Foodbank operates on a referral system whereby professionals working in education, housing, advice services, health services, charities etc can give vouchers to those in short term financial crisis whilst they help them in various ways themselves.

DCFA is not a Foodbank. Foodbanks issue food to individuals whereas DCFA issues only to charitable organisations that feed the disadvantaged in our communities either by providing cooked meals or by issuing food parcels. Foodbanks obtain their food from supermarket customer donations. DCFA endeavours to obtain surplus, short-date or end-of-line stocks from producers, manufacturers and retailers… food that might otherwise go to waste. This alleviates food poverty and food waste and saves suppliers landfill tax too!
