About
FareShare
FareShare is a charity which has been cooking free, nutritious meals for people doing it tough since 2001. They operate 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.
The current unprecedented situation for hunger in Australia, driven by the soaring cost of everyday essentials and extreme weather events, means the need for meal relief is at an all-time high.
2 million
With food insecurity at unprecedented levels across our country, FareShare gives away over 2 million nutritious cooked meals to Australians in need.
460k
In the past 12 months, 460,000 Queensland households experienced hunger (severe food insecurity) - double the number of households in the Gold Coast.
20-25k
Every week, our Brisbane kitchen transforms quality, surplus food that may otherwise have gone to waste and cooks it into 20-25,000 nutritious meals.
5.8 million
Since opening in 2018, FareShare's Brisbane kitchen has produced 5.8 million meals for Queenslanders doing it tough. To date in 2023, we have cooked over 1 million meals.
