Sidmouth has a branch of Save Food Hub. This is not a Food Bank but collects surplus food, when available, from across east Devon and offers it free to all without referral. The Sidmouth location is in the Foyer of the Methodist Church in Sidmouth High Street. For opening times, see the Save Food website.
Other local community larders, where surplus food is free without the need for a referral are at:
