Team Volunteering at FareShare – Make Meals, Make a Difference
Looking for a meaningful, energising way to bring your team together? Join us at our FareShare kitchens for a hands-on volunteering experience that’s all about teamwork, impact, and good vibes.
What You'll Be Doing
Get ready to roll up your sleeves and:
Chop, prep, and pack nutritious meals for people doing it tough across Australia
Work side-by-side with your team in a commercial kitchen guided by our experienced chefs
Know that every meal you make is going straight to someone who needs it
Capture the Moment & See Your Impact
During your session, we’ll capture photos of the experience and send your team a post-event summary that includes:
A snapshot of your team’s contribution
A short recap of the day’s highlights
It’s a great way to reflect, celebrate, and share the impact you made together.

FAQs
- I am vegan/vegetarian, do I have to touch meat?
We completely understand that not everyone wants to get hands-on with animal products. Please speak up in the kitchen and let our chefs know if you don't want to touch any meat and they will find a task that you are comfortable with.
- Can I leave early?
Ideally, we would love all volunteers to stay for the full session, but we do understand that this is sometimes not possible.
We can't have a whole team leave early, as our chefs rely on volunteers to get all the meals prepped and packed to go out to those in need, however, if it is just one or two people that is ok.
We do ask that you let us know as soon as you can, preferably before the session date, if not, upon arriving for your session. - Can I bring my child?
Unfortunately, our sessions are only open to those 18 years or over.
We do run school programs weekday mornings, so if your child is keen, perhaps reach out to their school and let them know they can book in and get involved. - Who is SecondBite?
SecondBite is a charity that merged in 2024 with FareShare so we are now one organisation. We distribute products from our Secondbbite warehouses as well as meals from our FareShare kitchens to those doing it tough.
