Getting Food As A Charity

If your non-profit organisation uses food to support vulnerable people, joining FareShare Midlands can help you make a bigger impact.

We provide food poverty charities and community organisations across the Midlands with a reliable supply of nutritious, high-quality surplus food. This allows them to stretch their budgets further and support more people facing food insecurity.

Our members include community centres, faith organisations, schools, drop-in centres and other support groups. They provide affordable food services that help individuals experiencing hardship. By becoming a member, you gain access to a wide range of fresh produce, chilled, frozen and ambient foods - helping you provide balanced, wholesome meals to those who need them most.

Why Join FareShare Midlands?

✅ Save Thousands on Food Costs - A typical member saves £9,100 per year on food - freeing up funds for other vital services.

✅ Access Nutritious and Varied Food - We supply a diverse selection of fresh fruit, vegetables, proteins, dairy and cupboard essentials to help you provide balanced, nutritious meals.

✅ Reduce Food Waste and Protect the Environment - By redistributing surplus food, we prevent edible food from going to waste - supporting a greener, more sustainable food system.

But don't just take our word for it! Hear from one of our Food Members, Gas Street St Luke's:

Who Can Join?

We support not-for-profit organisations that provide food to vulnerable communities. Membership is open to charities, community groups and social enterprises. However, members cannot sell food on an individually priced basis - it must be used to support people in need through an affordable food membership.

The Problems We Address

✅ Rising Food Costs and Budget Constraints – we provide an affordable, nutritious food source, helping you to stretch your budgets.

✅ Fighting Food Waste and Its Environmental Impact – the UK wastes over 4.5 million tonnes of food each year. You can help us redirect surplus food to those who need it, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

✅ Food Insecurity and Health Risks – healthy food is essential for physical and mental well-being. You can ensure that people can access nutritious food for balanced meals.

✅ Social Isolation and Community Well-Being – food brings people together. Your support can strengthen social connections and provide a lifeline to those experiencing isolation.
