Leicester FoodShare was set up in 2007 by the Diocese of Leicester, linked to the national FareShare which works to relieve food poverty.

Food which is still 'in date' is collected from the FareShare depot in Birmingham twice a month and distributed back in Leicester to vulnerable people living with the effects of poverty.

The volunteer led scheme reaches 2,000 people a month in Leicester, including families and young people in hostels, elderly people, the homeless, asylum seekers and refugees.

You Can Help

One year on, they are looking for more volunteers to support the scheme as the frequency of the food runs are limited by the number of people available to drive the vans and help sort the food, not by the quantity of food available.

With more volunteers they would like to do a food run once a week and get food to even more people in Leicestershire who need it.
