FareShare Greater Manchester supplies over 200 charities across Greater Manchester with fresh, tasty, in-date food from the food industry. If you use food in your charity, social enterprise, school or other not-for-profit organisation, you can sign up to receive food too.
How does FareShare Greater Manchester support member organisations?
Food security
FareShare Greater Manchester provides access to a wide variety of fresh, chilled, frozen and long-life foods. Due to our strong links across the food industry, we can offer a regular supply of the food types. Moreover, you can always receive what you need, be it for variety or quantity. Additionally, we have several collection points across Greater Manchester, making it easy for member organisations to get food donations.
Money-saving
FareShare Greater Manchester Community Food Members (CFMs) are charged a minimal fee for the food they receive compared to the retail value of the food and the volumes required. In addition to the full food orders from our warehouse, members have access to free surplus food from local supermarkets through FareShare Go. This means they can use their funds on other vital services. On average members save £7,900 per year on their food bill. For those in need, we also provide food parcels to help meet their immediate needs.
Membership Support
FareShare Greater Manchester has a strong community of members who we support with food provision and more. If your needs change, we can adapt our service to match. We can provide advice on food safety and can offer volunteering opportunities to service users. Additionally, as part of a network of organisations, we will let you know about any news that could benefit you. Many of our member organisations also collaborate with local food banks to extend their reach and impact within the community.
