Help us cook free, nutritious meals with your colleagues or clients

Corporate shifts are available at FareShare’s food processing kitchen, located inside our modern logistics hub at Derrimut.

Teams of up to 8 volunteers sort and process vegetables that have either been rescued or harvested from our three kitchen gardens.

These veggies are then ready for our chefs to add important nutrition to our meals, which improve the lives of Australians in hardship. It is amazing how many tubs of vegetables can be prepared and how knife skills can be developed in the space of a single morning.

Crew size – 2-8 volunteers.
Shifts available on Monday and Thursday mornings – 9:30am to 12:30pm.
Parking is available on-site.
Our board /meeting room is also available to groups to hold team meetings after your shift.

We look forward to welcoming you into our Derrimut processing kitchen.
