Volunteer Roles

*This volunteer role is available in multiple locations across the UK*

Can you spare 3-hours to help collect food for vulnerable people this winter?

This is a one-off volunteering role. No long term commitment to ongoing shifts. 

About FareShare

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us at FareShare. We are the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors. We take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry, and get it to nearly 8,000 frontline charities and community groups.

The food we redistribute is nutritious and good to eat. It reaches charities across the UK, including school breakfast clubs, older people’s lunch clubs, homeless shelters, and community cafes. Every week we provide enough food to create almost a million meals for vulnerable people. 

About the Volunteer Role

Demand for our support continues to increase, and we need to source food in a variety of ways to meet this demand.

We need volunteers to help in-store, to ask shoppers to purchase long-life food items to donate, and collect the donations. 

We are urgently in need of long-life items such as tinned goods, cereal, pasta and rice - as they last a long time and offer good variety.

This is where volunteering at the Food Collection comes in, and why it is so important and impactful.

We are holding our annual Food Collection event in-store at Tesco.

We need volunteers to help in-store, to ask shoppers to purchase long-life food items to donate, and collect the donations. 

We are urgently in need of long-life items such as tinned goods, cereal, pasta and rice - as they last a long time and offer good variety.

The food collected is given to the local food charity who supports people in the local community.
