Donate your leftover currency to FareShare Midlands

FareShare Midlands is the region’s largest food redistribution charity, fighting food poverty while saving good food from going to waste

Surplus food from across the industry arrive into one of the organisations warehouses, where it is sorted and stored by 70+ dedicated staff and 300+ passionate volunteers. The supplies are then shared amongst hundreds of charities and community-based groups across the Midlands, including food pantries, homeless shelters and community cafes.

These small yet mighty organisations turn the food into food parcels, affordable shopping and delicious meals, filling empty stomachs, providing comfort and reminding everyone they are not alone. 

Donate your leftover currency to FareShare Midlands to help them turn an environmental problem into a social solution by ensuring good-to-eat food fills plates, not bins.

Each week FareShare reach more than 83,000 people – providing nourishment to vulnerable children and young people, families and older people

The amount of people experiencing food insecurity has doubled since the pandemic. While homelessness is on the rise, it’s no longer just the vulnerable who are in need; FareShare’s Food Members are seeing nurses, police officers and local councillors asking for support.

Your donations can make a huge difference. Just £10 can help provide 40 meals to disadvantaged communities.

It is easy to donate your leftover currency to FareShare Midlands. To get started, download and fill out the FareShare Midlands exchange form.
