Back in 2023, we proudly celebrated reaching the equivalent of 10 million meals provided to FareShare.
Now, we’ve hit our next milestone with the equivalent of 13 million meals and counting!
FareShare is the UK’s largest leading food redistribution charity. Their vision is simple: no good food should go to waste.
For over a decade, we’ve partnered with FareShare to donate surplus food from our depots, which is then redistributed to a nationwide network of frontline charities and community groups - from homeless shelters to school breakfast clubs.
With the help of dedicated volunteers, this food is turned into meals and food parcels, reaching vulnerable people across the UK.
“We are enormously grateful to the team at Co-op and all their distribution centres for their continued support for FareShare, and for reaching the milestone of delivering the equivalent of 13 million meals. For over 10 years, Co-op has been providing FareShare with surplus food, making a huge difference to ensuring that good food goes to people in need, not waste. Thank you.”
Nicole Sanchez-Castillo, Head of Food Partnerships at FareShare
