About FareShare

FareShare's mission is simple, we rescue food that would otherwise go to waste and cook it into tasty, nutritious meals for people in need.

FareShare operates Australia’s largest charity kitchens in Melbourne and Brisbane cooking 12,000 meals every day. We are a community-powered task force with hundreds of volunteers who help us cook, distribute, and grow food. We also empower hundreds of corporate volunteers to make a difference in our kitchens each year.

FareShare provides free meals to more than 400 charities including homeless shelters, women’s refuges, disadvantaged schools, and community food banks. Our vision is for a society where food is not wasted, and no one goes hungry.
