Each and everything we do at FareShare North East revolves around surplus food.

Food not only fights hunger and insecurity, but it brings people together, helps to tackle loneliness and isolation. It can also improve health and well-being. There is always a story behind food…and our food can create some fabulous stories. We want to champion and share them all in one place.

Take a look at the sections below to find out more about the FareShare North East community. They are comprised of our fantastic volunteers, staff, supporters, fundraisers and our community food members.
