About FareShare and the Neighbourhood Food Collection: FareShare saves fresh, quality surplus food from the food industry that would otherwise be wasted. We redistribute food to charities and community projects across the UK who transform it into nutritious meals for vulnerable people: last year we supplied enough food for 15.3 million meals!

The Neighbourhood Food Collection makes this possible. In order to provide our charity and community food members with a reliable, varied and balanced food supply, we need to supplement the fresh surplus food with the long-life foods donated during the Food Collection.

We welcome individuals and groups of volunteers for the Neighbourhood Food collection, as well as in our distribution centres throughout the country. Go to www.fareshare.org.uk to find more volunteering opportunities!
