About our cause
FareShare Southern Central rescues surplus food which would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to charities and community groups working with vulnerable people. We tackle two problems of our time food poverty and food waste.
There are around 8 million people in the UK who struggle everyday to know where their next meal is coming from. Yet at the same time thousands of tonnes of perfectly good food is wasted by the food and drink industry every year.
Working closely with leading supermarkets, manufacturers and farms we capture food which is excess or has been identified as waste. This surplus can be due to over production, suppliers overs, food that is coming close to the end of life and food that hasn't passed quality control yet its good to eat. Packaging errors are also common cause of waste.
Over 100 volunteers help us sort, pick, pack and deliver the food to over 130 charities in Hampshire. These include food banks, breakfast clubs, lunch clubs for older people, soup kitchens, hostels and projects supporting vulnerable young people, those living with addictions and mental health. Many of our volunteers have experienced hunger themselves and volunteering is part of their recovery process, helping them learn need skills to find employment - the first step out of poverty.
We want to expand our work in Portsmouth by opening up two local collection points in the City where around 25 organisations working to tackle hunger will be able to access good quality surplus food.
Thanks for reading and do get in touch if you would like to know more about our work.
