Donate Surplus Food

Could your organisation divert surplus food to FareShare Midlands?

We believe that good food is best eaten, not thrown away. Giving your surplus food to FareShare Midlands follows the food use hierarchy, which calls to feed people in need first, before sending food to animal feed, anaerobic digestion or to landfill.

When you give surplus food to FareShare Midlands, you help fight food waste and hunger in your community.

From boosting staff morale to achieving your commitments under Sustainable Development Goal 12.3, working with FareShare can benefit your business.

Diverting your surplus food to us is much easier than you think, and could help you achieve some of your ESG commitments. Your organisation could also be eligible for funding to help you reduce your food waste.

The Food Waste Hierarchy sets out five steps for dealing with waste, ranked according to their environmental impact. It calls for food to feed people first before it is sent to animal feed or energy.

The Food and Drink Waste Hierarchy is statutory guidance from the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs.
