What's happening at FareShare

Donate

To an isolated, elderly person a nutritious FareShare meal can mean vital human contact. Your donation this winter could be life-changing for them. Please help FareShare give "so much more than a meal" to people struggling alone this winter.

Serve

FareShare celebrates our community of volunteers during National Volunteer Week (May 20-26). We salute each and every one for making a difference by powering FareShare to rescue, cook, grow and distribute food. Thanks to you, every day life is a bit easier for thousands of people doing it tough.

Chip in

Our new Brisbane kitchen is taking bookings for corporate volunteering. Try a rewarding team-building experience led by a chef for immediate social impact. Everyone leaves with the satisfaction of cooking hundreds of meals for people in need.

Winner

All our volunteers go above and beyond but running the equivalent of FIVE back to back marathons takes supporting FareShare to a new level. Meet Vanessa who will be attempting to run the Goldfields Track​ in June. Our CEO Marcus Godinho​ will be right behind her.

Meet our wonderful volunteers and see what drives them!
