80% of the charities we support say they could be at risk without the food we provide. ⚠️ At Felix, we know that the charities we supply are the backbone of their communities. But a new survey of over 2,700 organizations has revealed a stark reality: the sector is facing a perfect storm. With food inflation driving up demand and charity costs rising, many of our partners are at a breaking point. Our research shows: 📉 32% of these organizations would have to close their food support services entirely without our rescued food. 📉 52% would be forced to scale back their operations. These aren’t just food hubs—91% of these charities provide vital wrap-around support. Think financial advice and mental health care, to emplyoment and housing services. When a food charity closes, the entire safety net for their community weakens. This is why our work to rescue food is more urgent than ever. By turning surplus food into a support system, we are helping over 8,000 charities keep their doors open and their communities healthy. As Felix, we are more committed than ever to our 10-year goal: to triple the amount of food we rescue and ensure no one goes hungry. Beacuse fuller plates mean fuller lives.

As we kick off Volunteer Appreciation Week, we want to take a moment to shine a massive spotlight on the incredible individuals who make the work of The Felix Project and FareShare possible. You are the backbone of our mission to fight hunger and tackle food waste across the UK. Every hour you dedicate, every crate you move, and every delivery you make helps in our fight against food insecurity. The impact of your dedication is truly staggering. By contributing 534,000 volunteering hours last year, you enabled us to redistribute 62,000 tonnes of food and support 8,200 community organisations across the UK. To every volunteer who has put on a hi-vis vest or an apron, sorted through mountains of carrots, or driven a van: THANK YOU. Whether you’ve been with us for years or have just started your journey, know that because of you, thousands of families have access to nutritious meals, and our environment is spared the burden of perfectly good food going to waste. This week is all about you, but please know that our gratitude extends far beyond these seven days. You make a profound difference every single day of the year. 💚 Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! We are so incredibly proud to work alongside you.

Something big is on the horizon. Two legacies, one shared future. Mark your calendars for June 2nd and make sure you're following The Felix Project to find out!

We have a pantry problem—and we need your help to fix it.   The reality is stark: while we redistribute a lot of food, only 4% of it consists of the essential cupboard staples that families actually need to cook a meal.   Our 2025 survey made one thing clear: frontline charities are desperate for rice, pasta, and oil. Without these basics, fresh surplus food often sits unused because it cannot be turned into a full meal. Together, The Felix Project and FareShare UK, our goal is clear: rescue 100 tonnes—or 240,000 meals’ worth—of ambient essentials by June 30th.   Does your business have surplus stock? We are looking for:   🗓️ Items nearing or just past their BBE date (following WRAP guidelines). 📦💥Damaged, mislabeled, or foreign-packaged goods. 🎄Seasonal stock or discontinued lines. 🏭 Bulk ingredients and samples. 🍝 Our top priorities: Pasta, rice, tinned meat/fish, cooking oil, and tea/coffee.   Ready to help us restock the nation’s cupboards? Send us a DM or check the link in the comments to see how you can donate.
