Give what you can to help us deliver vital food this winter.

We’ve already used all match funding available for the Big Give Christmas Challenge. But you can still support FoodStock 2021.
Still just £1 is enough to provide 4 meals for people who need it this winter.

This winter, FoodStock 2021 aims to bolster levels of food reaching frontline charities, schools and community groups who work with the most vulnerable during a difficult winter.
We had hoped the worst was over but for many things are worsening. The rising cost of living, higher energy bills, the end of furlough and a reduction in universal credit mean FoodStock 2021 is more vital than ever. With this in mind, between late October 2021 and January 2022, we aim to redistribute:
The HGV crisis and food supply issues that the UK has faced this year have had a direct impact on us as a charity. We have seen a 30% reduction in food reaching our warehouses. A risk in food reaching us, means a risk that our frontline partners will not be able to feed those who need it most.
To be able to meet our FoodStock 2021 aims, whilst also continuing our normal operations to frontline settings, we need more support than ever.
“The disruption means increased costs to our charity, including organising last minute collections & deliveries of food, overhauling systems at short notice, and the costs associated with getting increasing amounts of short-dated food through our warehouses and to partners quickly, in order to avoid waste."Julian Mines, CEO of FareShare South West
We’re calling on:
The vast majority of surplus occurs before food even gets to the supermarket. Each FareShare regional centre takes that food and redistributes to those in need. FareShare Go is our supermarket collection service, which deals with supermarket-level surplus.
