FareShare Sussex & Surrey takes surplus food and gets it to those who need it the most. We are fundraising to ensure charities and community groups get surplus produce to people who are struggling to afford to eat. Providing food to food banks, community fridges and community kitchens.

Every year, millions of tonnes of perfectly good food are wasted by the food industry. At FareShare Sussex & Surrey, we rescue surplus food that would otherwise go to waste and redistribute it to frontline community organisations - from food banks to women’s refuges, youth clubs to homeless shelters - so they can support people facing hunger. It’s a sustainable, ethical, and deeply human response to two broken systems: one that throws food away, and one that leaves people behind.
By working with over 248 local charities, we redistribute surplus food - in-date, fresh, and nutritious - to where it’s needed most. Food that would otherwise go to waste is turned into warm meals in community kitchens; food parcels for struggling families; and emergency support for people in crisis. Every tray we pack and van we send out puts food on plates this Christmas.
