FareShare South West supplies over 400 charities across the South West with fresh, tasty, in date food from the food industry. If you use food in your charity, social enterprise, school or other not-for-profit organisation, you can sign up to receive food too.         

How can FareShare South West food support member organisations?

Food security

FareShare South West has access to a wide variety of quality foods, from meat to vegetables to baked beans. Because of our strong links across the food industry, we can guarantee the regular supply of the food types you need at the quantities you need.

Money saving

FareShare South West members are charged a minimal fee for the food they receive- about 10% of the retail value of the products. In addition to the full food orders from our warehouse, members have access to free surplus food from local supermarkets through FareShare Go. This means they can use their funds on other vital services. On average members save £7,900 per year on their food bill.

Support

FareShare South West is a strong community of members who we support with food provision and more. If your needs change, we can adapt our service to match. We can provide advice on food safety, and can offer volunteering opportunities to service users. As part of a network of likeminded organisations, we will let you know about any news that could benefit you.

Are you a charity based in the South West and want to receive food from FareShare South West? If you are based anywhere in the region from Gloucestershire to Cornwall, we’d love to discuss how we can support you.

The food waste hierarchy calls for food to feed people first

Food companies are legally obliged to use food to feed people before sending to anaerobic digestion or for animal feed. We help them do that.
