SecondBite and FareShare merger marks first anniversary

One year on from the landmark merger between SecondBite and FareShare, we are celebrating a 30% surge in meal production and a 8% increase in rescued food.

Since joining forces on July 1, 2024, we’ve been able to supercharge our national food relief efforts – transforming surplus food into millions of nutritious meals for Australians facing food insecurity.

The merger has connected SecondBite’s national food rescue and distribution network  with FareShare’s capacity to transform rescued food into nutritious, ready-to-eat meals.

Together we have supported thousands of community food programs, charities and emergency relief efforts.

Our key achievements over the past year include:

• More than 2.8 million nutritious, tasty meals delivered to vulnerable Australians.
• 1 million kgs of additional rescued surplus food from growers, manufacturers, and retailers.
• Enhanced support for communities affected by natural disasters and cost-of-living pressures.

SecondBite | FareShare CEO Daniel Moorfield said as food insecurity continues to rise, the merger between the two organisations was more important than ever.

“The merger between SecondBite and FareShare has enabled us to go further and faster in delivering food relief where it’s needed most,” he said.

“Looking ahead, we are committed to deepening our impact, advocating for food justice, and ensuring surplus food makes its way to people in need.”
