FareShare

FareShare Hull and Humber works in partnership with the UK’s largest food redistribution charity, FareShare. Each day we receive fresh, in date and good to eat surplus food from the food industry to redistribute to vulnerable people.

Like many charities, we rely on volunteers giving up their time and enthusiasm to help us fight hunger and tackle food waste. Our volunteering roles range from driving the vans, to helping to sort and store food in our warehouses. And the great news is they get so much from it too!
