FareShare Greater Manchester

Who we are

FareShare Greater Manchester is the region’s largest food redistribution charity, fighting food poverty and hunger by tackling waste. We source good quality food that is surplus to requirements from retailers and manufacturers. We rely on an army of volunteers to help redistribute this food to almost 300 frontline charities such as school breakfast clubs, community centres and organisations supporting those who are homeless, unemployed, and socially isolated.

We lead the charge in saving good food from waste. Our mission ensures that it reaches those who need it most. Through our extensive network, we redistribute hundreds of tonnes of surplus food.
