Some volunteer testimonials
"I just wanted to thank you for having the NAB team at your kitchen last Friday. I felt that the environment was very friendly and the entire experience was extremely informative in giving me an appreciation of the value your organisation provides. This experience was very rewarding to me and provided the team with a sense of collaboration and team spirit. Keep up the great work."

“It was a fun, busy and most rewarding afternoon where the team achieved something really worthwhile.”
Cindy Bennett, GlaxoSmithKline
“A lovely place to volunteer, not too structured or regimented and such a simple but fundamental cause ... food! Very friendly permanent volunteers and workers guided and instructed us. Julien took the time to explain what FareShare does and also along the way explained where and how our food preparation would be used. This made it a much more rewarding experience knowing the end use of our work.”
Kathleen Burnside, NAB
“Who would have thought that food preparation could be so demanding - and so rewarding. I have done several volunteer days at FareShare and always come away tired but happy. I feel it is a great opportunity to give something back to the community. The people who run it are inspirational.”
Marilla Rough, ANZ
“Many thanks for the opportunity to let us help out in the FareShare kitchen yesterday. The team had a great time and we all felt the afternoon was very rewarding for everyone involved. Congratulations on running such an amazing operation. You must all feel very good about yourselves as we did yesterday and do today.”
David Burns, BP Australia
“I think FareShare provides an outstanding example of how to use a little to give a lot. I have been inspired by the resourcefulness of the FareShare team in being able to convert ‘rescued’ food into nutritious, delicious and convenient food. The organisation also provides a great example of professionalism and efficiency, with volunteers well-organised and working hard during each volunteer shift.”
Katie Dean, ANZ
"I found working with FareShare an enlightening and uplifting experience. I thoroughly enjoyed working with such generous people who taught me about much more than how to make pies (however, I also took that skill home much to my fiancé's delight!). I took a lot of pleasure from helping those who have not had the same opportunities I have enjoyed.”
Cherelle Murphy, ANZ
