Making A Difference: Working Together

Dozens of companies have benefited from spending a day volunteering with us. The hands-on nature has proved popular with companies from a number of sectors, including oil & gas, technology, aviation, housing, public sector and retail.

What's involved?

Our flexible packages are geared towards offering a rewarding, eye-opening experience for your staff. During the day, you can get involved in:

Warehouse operations; sorting food bank stock, date checking, preparing deliveries.
Food bank operations; serving food parcels to those in need, engaging with the public.
Driver; using one of our vans to distribute FareShare produce to dozens of local community organisations and charities.
Van assistant; supporting the driver in deliveries, ensuring paperwork is complete.
