CHARITY FOCUS
Devon & Cornwall Food Action Millions of people across the UK regularly can’t afford to buy enough food to feed themselves and their families. While every year, hundreds of thousands of tonnes of good food is wasted in the UK food industry - from farming, processing and distribution through to retail. Devon & Cornwall Food Action (DCFA) was set up in 2010 to save some of the surplus produce from supermarkets
ending up in landfill, and at the same time, help to tackle poverty by using the surplus food to feed local people who were going hungry. Originally DCFA collected food from supermarkets and distributed it to charities and organisations who work directly with people in need of help. More recently, and particularly over the last year due to the vastly increased need caused by Covid-19, DCFA now distributes boxes
