The FareShare kitchen provides the perfect setting for employees to interact with colleagues across departments and levels, while making a tangible difference. It can also be a great way to build relationships with clients. No special skills are required and everyone participates on an equal basis.
Supervised by our friendly chefs and kitchen supervisors, groups of up to 12 volunteers spend a 3-4 hour shift together undertaking a variety of kitchen tasks such as preparing and processing freshly harvested veggies and assembling and packing single-serve meals for people doing it tough.
Your group of volunteers will contribute to thousands of meals cooked and packed and destined to nourish people facing hardship across Victoria.
Shift times are:
Monday to Wednesday afternoons 1:15-5pm
Thursday afternoons 1-4.30pm
We also have availability on Monday-Thursday mornings from January 29-February 1.
As a charity, FareShare requests a financial contribution of $95 per person (+GST) for a crew of up to 12 volunteers.
All of our kitchen volunteers are provided with aprons and hairnets to wear on shift, as well as an apron to take home to keep or give as a gift.
If you have to cancel your shift within 3 weeks of your booking date, we may apply a 50% cancellation fee.
We will do our utmost to ensure your safety while you are on our premises by maintaining a clean and sanitary work environment. All participants must be 100% healthy to volunteer at FareShare.
