The Highview Prahran crew give their fair share back to the community.

The Highview Prahran crew were excited to embrace together their first corporate volunteering support day at not-for-profit organization, FareShare, in Abbotsford.

The entire office volunteered their time to process and produce freshly harvested food for those in need at the largest charity kitchen in Australia. Together the team packed 832 single serve meals and chopped 140kg of vegetables! They also had the opportunity to learn about food waste, food rescue and food poverty in our city. What an eye-opening experience! Accountant, Narelle said “It was such a fun and sociable morning and to be helping in such a meaningful way of providing food to people doing it tough was really rewarding”

FareShare is a charity that has been cooking free, nutritious meals for people in need since 2001. They believe that every Australian deserves a nutritious meal, regardless of their circumstances or location. They operate Australia’s largest non-profit kitchens in Melbourne and Brisbane where chefs and volunteers work hand in hand to cook the best possible meal for every person in need.

Each year FareShare transforms rescued, donated and their own homegrown food into millions of delicious, healthy meals that feed Australians experiencing hardship. Their healthy meals are given free to frontline charities such as soup vans, homeless shelters, women’s refuges, First Nations organisations and groups providing disaster relief.

The need for meal relief has never been higher with the soaring cost of living, frequent natural disasters and the lingering effects of the pandemic hurting millions of Australians.

As a charity, FareShare rely on the generosity of philanthropic foundations, businesses and individual donors. The Highview Prahran Crew feel honored to have been involved, and thrilled that they took time to selflessly contribute to this wonderful cause.
