The food bank in Holsworthy was set up and organised by Christians Together in Holsworthy and District. It serves a large area covering Holsworthy and all the nearby parishes in northwest Devon. Holsworthy Food Hub opened its doors in May 2023, and in its first six months was already supporting 96 households.

Holsworthy’s main supermarket is a Waitrose, and the nearest budget supermarket is over 8 miles away. People with limited money, no transport or mobility issues are likely to buy additional food from local convenience shops at higher prices.

The project also supports Holsworthy Community Fridge which is also part of Holsworthy Food Projects CIC, ensuring no food goes to waste.
