Charity needs new warehouse due to demand for food

FareShare South West is looking for a new warehouse to help meet demand

- by STAFF REPORTER

A CHARITY that redistributes food to people in need has announced an urgent appeal for a larger warehouse.

FareShare South West has outgrown its current facility in the county and can no longer accommodate additional cold storage, packing lines or the expanding volunteer teams that are critical to the charity's mission, and needs larger premises in place by the autumn to sustain its much needed expanding operations.

Lucy Bearn, FareShare South West chief executive, said: “Our current warehouse is simply bursting at the seams. Securing a new, larger facility is essential, not just for space, but to ensure that all surplus food we rescue can reach those who need it most.
