FareShare GM is a leading food charity in Manchester, redistributing surplus food to tackle food poverty and reduce food waste across Greater Manchester.
Unlike food banks, FareShare supports charities and community groups by redistributing surplus food, rather than providing food directly to individuals. Our passionate commitment is making a profound impact on our community. We invite you to become a vital part of our mission! We work across all ten Greater Manchester boroughs, from Wigan to Stockport and Oldham to Trafford. Whether you choose to volunteer your time, contribute donations or encourage local businesses to donate surplus food, every action counts. To support our cause further, consider exploring our charity donations Manchester page. We redistribute food to frontline charities, community food projects and community groups across the region. As a leading food charity in Manchester, we provide surplus food to those in need, rather than operating public food banks directly.

Get involved to help us in the fight against hunger and food waste in Greater Manchester.
Food poverty is rising across the UK, and Greater Manchester is no exception.
Food insecurity and hunger have become shocking yet normal aspects of daily life for thousands of individuals in the region. This occurs every day.
At FareShare Greater Manchester, we resolve to fight hunger and food waste. We distribute quality surplus food to more than 220 charities and community groups across the region. This establishes our identity as a committed food poverty charity. Our goal is to ensure that meals go to those who need them most.
Together we can: 7 million meals
Our goal is to redistribute enough surplus food to create 7 million meals for people experiencing hunger across Greater Manchester.
