Some volunteer testimonials…

Volunteer Application Form

“I learnt so much with this organisation. It was a real eye opener regarding how many people out there are actually not getting sufficient food every day. And FareShare is making a difference out there just by simply supplying this people with healthy food, snacks, fresh fruit and much more. It's a really good organisation to support and I look forward to my next volunteer day with them. I thoroughly enjoyed my day, also getting to meet other people from NAB, it was a great day overall.”  
Julie Ferrer, NAB

“Who would have thought that food preparation could be so demanding - and so rewarding. I have done several volunteer days at FareShare and always come away tired but happy. I feel it is a great opportunity to give something back to the community. The people who run it are inspirational.”
Marilla Rough, Senior Information Officer, ANZ

I think FareShare provides an outstanding example of how to use a little to give a lot. I have been inspired by the resourcefulness of the FareShare team in being able to convert ‘rescued’ food into nutritious, delicious and convenient food. The organisation also provides a great example of professionalism and efficiency, with volunteers well-organised and working hard during each volunteer shift”
Katie Dean, Senior International Economist, ANZ

“A lovely place to volunteer, not too structured or regimented and such a simple but fundamental cause....food!  Very friendly permanent volunteers and workers guided and instructed us.  Julien took the time to explain what One Umbrella does and also along the way explained where and how our food preparation would be used; this made it a much more rewarding experience knowing the end use of our work.”    
Kathleen Burnside, NAB

"I found working with FareShare an enlightening and uplifting experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with such generous people who taught me about much more than how to make pies (however, I also took that skill home much to my fiancé's delight!). I took a lot of pleasure from helping those who have not had the same opportunities I have enjoyed.”
Cherelle Murphy, Senior Markets Economist, ANZ
