FareShare save good food destined for waste and send it to charities and community groups who transform it into nutritious meals for vulnerable people. Now is your chance to fight food waste in the city.
FareShare Gt Manchester are looking for Urban Gleaners to join them as they save tonnes of fruit and veg from going to waste at the New Smithfield Market in Manchester.
Can you volunteer for Urban Gleaning Monday-Friday between 10am and 3pm? Every week from now until Christmas (even if you can only offer one or two hours) FareShare Gt Manchester need help to sort through tonnes of fruit and veg to save as much as possible for those in need. No need to bring anything - protective clothing/footwear provided and lunch provided where possible.
If you're a keen cook, the volunteers at FareShare Gt Manchester are also looking for volunteers to cook lunch in their kitchen, especially during these wet and windy months.
If you would like to volunteer for Urban Gleaning or to cook for volunteers please contact Derek Shelton on 07513 537030 or 0161 223 8200 option 3 and let him know your availability.
Join the FareShare team at New Smithfield Market, Whitworth Street East, Openshaw, Manchester, M11 2WJ.
