Help make a difference and volunteer for this project

FareShare is a national food redistribution charity who take good to eat, surplus food and give it to people in the local community.

by Chloe Turner - FareShare Southern Central in Southampton, Hampshire, United Kingdom

FareShare Southern Central is based in Totton, Southampton and we redistribute food to charities and community groups throughout Hampshire and Dorset. We have 9 members of full time staff and over 100 regular volunteers who support our cause.

A day here on site with us will involve the following:

 • Assisting with loading food onto FareShare Vans 

• Working in our warehouse to help staff and volunteers sort through food deliveries, separating chilled and ambient food

• Picking food orders for charities for delivery the following day

• Packing a range of items, from fresh meat and dairy, to cereal, bread and instant coffee

 • You may also get the chance to go out and see where the food goes and meet the people who we support.

We believe that no good to eat food should be wasted, especially whilst there are people living in our community who are struggling to afford to pay for food.
