Right now, over 1 million people across the south west are living in poverty, while over 4 million tonnes of good-to-eat food is wasted every year across the food industry. That’s enough for 10 billion meals!   

Join team FareShare South West and raise vital funds to help join the dots between food waste and hunger, and transform an environmental problem into social good.

FareShare is the only charity to take food from the wholesale level of the food industry

The vast majority of surplus occurs before food even gets to the supermarket. Each member of the FareShare network rescues that food and delivers it to those in need. FareShare Go is our supermarket collection service, which deals with supermarket-level surplus.
