Over 600,000 people in Greater Manchester live in households that are struggling to get by.
That includes 180,000 children and young people.
Where does FareShare Greater Manchester food come from?
The food we supply is fresh, varied and high quality. It is classed as surplus for any number of reasons which do not affect the food itself, from packaging errors to promotions ending.
Donated by the UK food industry, including retailers, manufacturers and suppliers, it undergoes stringent storage and transportation procedures to comply with food safety legislation enforced by FareShare Greater Manchester.
Can you guarantee which foods we’ll receive?
As we deal with surplus food, we can never guarantee the exact food you’ll get. Instead, we build a food profile for each of our members that mostly meets your organisation’s needs. Each week we put together an order for you based on the stock we have, and our volunteers pick and pack it for you ready for despatch.
Is there a Fareshare membership cost to my organisation?
This FareShare membership cost starts at just 31p / kilo collected to 42p / kilo delivered to receive a regular supply of food from our warehouse. On average, FareShare charity members save a huge £7,900 on their food bill each year. This means they can invest in other vital services.
You can also access free food from FareShare Go, which is a free scheme that provides charities and community groups with direct access to collect surplus food from local supermarkets and restaurants.
