Artisan food producer, RaviOllie have supported FareShare South West since 2020 – transforming surplus vegetables into fillings for their handmade pasta. This Hallowe’en, with support from the Avon Gleaning network, we delivered more than 60kg pumpkins to RaviOllie to make 600 portions of ready-to-cook pasta to keep families from going hungry over the Winter.
The vast majority of surplus occurs before food even gets to the supermarket. FareShare South West rescues that food and delivers it to those in need. FareShare Go is FareShare’s supermarket collection service, which deals with supermarket-level surplus.
