SharePlate
SharePlate. Turning surplus into support. Simple. Safe. Local.
How it works
Tell us what you have
Has your restaurant cooked an extra portion, or are you closing up your café with untouched meals? Fill out our quick form describing what’s available.
We arrange a pick-up
We contact you to organise a convenient collection time, usually same-day or next-day. Once collected, meals are labelled, frozen, and stored safely to meet food-handling standards.
We reheat & deliver
Across the following days, we reheat meals to safe temperatures and distribute them directly to those experiencing food insecurity through our routes, partner shelters, and community organisations.
Our ethos
Every day across Sydney, thousands of untouched meals are left over in cafés and restaurants. At the same time, the homeless populous struggle to access safe, nutritious food.
Our mission is simple. Turn extra portions into immediate support.
We collect safe, surplus meals from local households and partner venues, freeze them to preserve freshness, and deliver them directly to people in need.
Through simplicity, outreach, and community, SharePlate transforms everyday leftovers into meaningful, tangible impact.
We proudly collaborate with cafés, restaurants, bakeries, shelters, community centres, and regular households across Sydney.
Partner with us
SharePlate is a grassroots, Sydney-based charitable initiative founded on a straightforward belief: no one should go hungry while good food is thrown away.
What began as two friends delivering home-cooked leftovers to people sleeping rough has grown into a volunteer-powered network linking households, cafés, and community organisations. We focus on:
Reducing food waste
Improving food access
Supporting people experiencing hardship
Building a culture of sharing in our local communities
Every meal donated is one less meal wasted — and one more person supported.
