Working in partnership with FareShare UK, FareShare Midlands is the largest food redistribution charity in the region, feeding over 80,000 people every week. We receive surplus food into our network of warehouses where it is sorted, stored and shared with around 800 charities and community groups. These members turn the food into delicious nutritious meals, affordable shopping and food parcels. As well as food, our members provide other vital services to people living in food poverty. In addition, our Employability programmes offer training, work experience and interviews to people who are struggling to find employment or re-enter the workforce.
