We support a wide variety of organisations with their food needs, from homelessness charities to primary school Breakfast Clubs. Additionally, from lunch clubs for the elderly to food clubs and pantries.
How do we sign up?
It’s easy! Simply complete our online form opposite. We will get back to you as soon as possible to discuss how we can meet your organisation’s food needs and guide you through the sign-up process. Once we’ve had a chat we’ll determine if we can supply you. We’ll then take you through the sign up process and complete a kitchen / premises check.
Once you’ve signed up to become a FareShare Greater Manchester member, you can expect a food order to be made up by our amazing volunteers each week based on your organisation’s needs and the FareShare food available.

Where does FareShare Greater Manchester food come from?
The food we supply is fresh, varied and high quality. It is classed as surplus for any number of reasons which do not affect the food itself, from packaging errors to promotions ending.
Donated by the UK food industry, including retailers, manufacturers and suppliers, it undergoes stringent storage and transportation procedures to comply with food safety legislation enforced by FareShare Greater Manchester.

Can you guarantee which foods we’ll receive?
As we deal with surplus food, we can never guarantee the exact food you’ll get. Instead, we build a food profile for each of our members that mostly meets your organisation’s needs. Each week we put together an order for you based on the stock we have, and our volunteers pick and pack it for you ready for despatch.
Is there a Fareshare membership cost to my organisation?
As a charity, we rely on donations and grants to keep going. This Fareshare membership cost starts at just 27p / kilo collected to 36p / kilo delivered to receive a regular supply of food from our warehouse. FareShare Go, our supermarket collection service, is provided free of charge to supplement your main food supply. On average, FareShare charity members save a huge £7,900 on their food bill each year. This means they can invest in other vital services.
