FareShare FareShare is a charity which cooks free, nutritious meals for people doing it tough. WATCH: https://vimeo.com/656791734 You are making them feel better.

We operate kitchens in Melbourne and Brisbane where our chefs and volunteers cook millions of meals a year. FareShare is a charity that has been cooking free, nutritious meals for people doing it tough since 2001. We believe that every Australian deserves a nutritious meal, regardless of their circumstances or location. FareShare operates Australia’s largest non-profit kitchens in Melbourne and Brisbane where chefs and volunteers work hand in hand to cook the best possible meal for every person in need. Each year FareShare transforms rescued, donated and our homegrown food into millions of delicious, healthy meals that feed dignity and wellbeing for Australians experiencing hardship. A homestyle meal shows that somebody cares and has an immediate impact. Our healthy meals are given away free to frontline charities such as soup vans, homeless shelters, women’s refuges and community food banks. The demand for meal relief has never been higher with the soaring cost of living, frequent natural disasters and the lingering effects of the pandemic hurting millions of Australians. As a charity we rely on the generosity of philanthropic foundations, businesses and individual donors. When you support FareShare, you are not just feeding someone in need. You are giving them a ready-to-eat meal which takes the worry out of going hungry and the stress out of cooking. Visit us for more https://www.fareshare.net.au/

🌍 This World Food Day, every meal matters. ❤️

Everyone deserves access to good, nutritious food. But for many people across Australia who are experiencing food insecurity, getting enough food on the table remains a daily challenge.

At FareShare, we’re working to change that. Every day, our kitchens turn rescued and donated ingredients into healthy and delicious meals, while our farms grow fresh produce to help nourish people doing it tough.

Here’s the impact we made possible together in FY26:

🍲 2.8 million meals made in our kitchens
🥦 137,000 kg of produce grown on our farms
🙌 92,297 volunteer hours contributed to our work

Behind every number is a community coming together to make a difference. From growing fresh produce to preparing meals and getting food to the people who need it, every contribution helps put more food on more tables.

This World Food Day, we’re reminded that access to good, nutritious food matters for everyone. ❤️

We’re proud to work alongside our volunteers, food donors and partners to help people who are struggling. Together, we can help create a future where more people have access to the food they need to thrive.

8 years of FareShare Brisbane in Morningside! 🎉

In October 2018, FareShare Brisbane’s super kitchen officially opened its doors in Morningside, marking a major milestone in our mission to transform rescued and home-grown food into nutritious, ready-to-eat meals for people doing it tough.

The kitchen doubled our cooking capacity and laid the foundation for the impact we make today, with the potential to produce millions of meals each year.

But the real power comes from the people who bring it to life every day.

Over the past eight years, thousands of volunteers, supporters, partners, donors and staff have rolled up their sleeves to turn rescued and donated food into nutritious meals for people experiencing food insecurity.

And this month, we’ll reach another incredible milestone: 10 million meals made since the kitchen opened in 2018! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Every chopped vegetable, stirred kettle, packed tray and hour volunteered has helped make a difference, one meal at a time.

🥬 Our first harvest at Dingley Farm is here!

After months of getting our flagship farm in Dingley Village ready, we’re finally harvesting our first crop of spring bok choy 🌱🥬

And this harvest marks another exciting first: the first time we’ve put our brand-new washing line to work.

With the scale of Dingley Farm, we’re growing more food than ever before. That means when harvest time comes around, there’s a lot of fresh produce to wash, clean and prepare for its next journey.

Our new washing line helps us do just that, gently washing and preparing large volumes of fresh produce efficiently, so more of the food we grow can make its way to people who need it.

More growing. More harvesting. More food and meals shared. ♥️

And we couldn’t do it without an incredible team, from our volunteers and farm staff to the growers and supporters who help bring the farm to life.

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Want to get your hands dirty and help us grow food for people in need? Volunteer at Dingley Farm by visiting fareshare.net.au/volunteering-melbourne.

That’s a lot of food! 🥕🍅🥔🫑🍆

We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity of our partners and donors. Their support helps us turn rescued and donated food into fresh, delicious and nutritious meals for people doing it tough.

But this food won’t stay in our cool room for long.

Our dedicated volunteers and chefs prepare over 53,000 meals every week, and much of what you see here will soon be transformed into meals and shared with people in need.

Food insecurity is a growing challenge, and the need for nutritious meals remains constant.

That’s why we’re always grateful for the incredible support of our donors and partners. Every contribution helps turn good food into good meals and put food on the tables of people who need it most ♥️

Thank you to Mitolo Family Farms, Fonterra, Costas Group, Ingham's, Gazzola Farms, Greensill Farming , Sweet Potatoes Australia and many more for all the food seen in the video.

A new chapter for FareShare’s community of volunteers 🌱

Yesterday, we welcomed our incredible volunteers to Dingley Farm for a Spring Equinox celebration, marking the opening of our newest growing site in Dingley Village.

The new farm will give us space to grow fresh, seasonal produce for the FareShare kitchen, helping turn locally grown food into nutritious meals for people experiencing hardship.

Our CEO Daniel Moorfield and Farm Manager Isabel Menssink shared remarks on the day, followed by tours of the farm and the planting of a tree to mark this exciting new chapter. 🌳

A huge thank you to all our volunteers for the time, energy and care you bring to FareShare.

We need all the help we can get to grow food for people in need. Visit fareshare.net.au/volunteering-melbourne (link in our bio) for more info.
