The pantry operates each Tuesday from 9:30am as all of the volunteers who run it are mums of school-aged children and they need to do the school run first. The doors stay open until 12 noon or until the food for that week has nearly gone.

food redistribution charity

FareShare is the only charity to take food from the wholesale level of the food industry

The vast majority of surplus occurs before food even gets to the supermarket. Each FareShare regional centre takes that food and redistributes to those in need. FareShare Go is our supermarket collection service, which deals with supermarket-level surplus.
