You can help us make a difference by raising funds for FareShare at your workplace. A few examples include:

Host a lunch and encourage your work mates to support it with a donation. 

Show off your baking skills with an office bake off, in which you (and preferably some of your colleagues) bake delicious treats that you sell for a gold coin donation. 

Have a day where you wear FareShare red (or casual clothing) to work in exchange for small donations. Theme it differently every month for even more workplace fun. 

Run a sales campaign where you donate a small portion of sales or proceeds to FareShare. 

Many organisations will match or provide some funds if you’re participating in an event or conducting a charity fundraiser, like the examples listed above. 

If you work in a big office complex, consider getting other organisations involved to help raise money so we can keep cooking free, nutritious meals for people doing it tough. 

Help FareShare from the comfort of your own home.

Consider hosting a meal at home and encourage your guests to give the gift of free, nutritious meals to those less fortunate by making a donation to FareShare. Alternatively, opt for an at-home movie night, karaoke session, yoga class, a crafts or games night, or whatever else you like to do. 

Is it time for a de-clutter? Why not sell a few of your unwanted items online or as a garage sale and donate the proceeds to FareShare?

If you are located in Queensland or Western Australia, you can help the environment and the local community by simply choosing to recycle through Containers for Change. Recycle your unwanted containers while raising money to help FareShare cook nutritious meals for Australians facing hardship.

It’s never too early to help raise funds (or food) for FareShare at your school by organising a fundraiser event like a wacky hair day, playground race, leftover lunch day or similar.

We can even get a FareShare speaker to visit your school and discuss food waste and food security and inspire your fellow students. Email schools@fareshare.net.au for more info on this. 

Or run a food drive by getting your school to donate essential food items to us. 

From charity golf tournaments to trivia nights, there are many ways to support people doing it tough through your local club or community group.

By banding together and hosting an event such as a BBQ, gold coin donation, bake sale or even a dedicating a competition round to FareShare at your local sports club, you and your team can make a real difference while having a lot of fun. 

Walk, run, cycle or swim and get active for a good cause.

Are you planning a hiking trip, have an upcoming marathon or are even just looking to be more active? Now is the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself while raising funds for people who are struggling to put food on their tables.

Celebrating milestones while giving the gift of healthy, complete meals is a fantastic way to support Australians who are facing hardship. Set up your own fundraising page in celebration of a loved one or ask your friends and family to donate for your birthday or special occasion in lieu of gifts.

Make a real difference while celebrating a birthday, wedding, anniversary or other landmark occasion. Simply create a personalised fundraising page, share the link with your friends and family and ask them to donate instead of giving gifts on your special day. By providing nutritious, cooked meals to people who need them, these funds will make a lasting impact in our local communities. 

You can also find us as a charity on Facebook and set up a birthday fundraiser there. 

Nourish people with hope and dignity by leaving a gift in your will to FareShare.

Making a bequest is one of the most meaningful ways you can help people less fortunate. 

Leaving a legacy allows us to provide dignity and wellbeing to vulnerable Australians in the form of free, nutritious meals. 

Become a friend of a FareFuture and your legacy will be compassion, leadership, and hope,

Have your own fundraising idea? Fantastic! Whether it is holding your own charity gig like Hans did (see image above), dying your hair a funky colour (did someone say FareShare red?) or participating in a food waste challenge, we are here to help you every step of the way.

Please get in touch with us at matilda.hasell@fareshare.net.au if you would like to discuss any of your fundraising ideas.
