What an amazing thing these young people are doing! πŸŒ±πŸ’›

On 7 July, School Food Matters' Young Marketeers will be at Barnsley Market, selling fruit and veg they've grown themselves, and every single penny is being donated to us here at FareShare Yorkshire to help feed families in need.

These children have worked so hard to grow, harvest and bring their produce to market, and they've chosen to give it all back to the community. We are genuinely bowled over by their generosity.

If you're in Barnsley on 7 July, please do pop along, buy some gorgeous homegrown veg, and give these brilliant young marketeers the support they deserve! πŸ₯•πŸ₯¦

🌟 Could you help us fight food poverty in Yorkshire?

We're recruiting a Treasurer Trustee to join the FareShare Yorkshire Board, and we'd love to hear from you!

Every week, we redistribute enough food for over 100,000 meals to people who need it most. Our new Treasurer Trustee will help make sure we can keep doing that for years to come. This is an ideal voluntary role for someone with a background in finance or accountancy who wants to give something back to their community.

Expenses are reimbursed, and you'll be joining a passionate, dedicated team that cares deeply about making Yorkshire a better place.

Across Yorkshire right now, families are wondering how they'll put dinner on the table tonight. 1 in 7 people in the UK face food insecurity, and at the same time, 4.6 million tonnes of perfectly good food go to waste every year.

At FareShare Yorkshire, we're bridging that gap. We rescue surplus food and get it to the brilliant charities and community groups feeding people across our region, from food banks to family centres, lunch clubs to homeless shelters.

But we can't do any of it without our volunteer drivers. 🚐
Could that be you?
βœ… Aged 25 or over
βœ… Full UK driving licence
βœ… A few spare hours during the week

Not able to volunteer right now? Please hit share. πŸ™ You might not be the right person for this, but somebody in your friends list might be exactly who we're looking for. A quick share takes seconds and could genuinely change someone's life.
