PepsiCo estimates the funding will help prepare over 600 local people for work.<\/p>\n<p>Since December 2017, PepsiCo says it has provided more than 2,200 tonnes of surplus and donated products to charities across the UK, which are then turned into meals for people in need.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the expansion, Jason Richards, SVP and General Manager at PepsiCo UK and Ireland, said: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to have partnered with FareShare for over seven years to fight hunger and tackle food waste together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis increased support will make an even bigger difference, giving jobseekers the leg up they need to succeed, while also transforming surplus food into meals for charities and community groups across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re encouraging growers in our network to sign up to the scheme as an extension of our work towards a more sustainable food system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.circulareconomyfestival.com\/?utm_source=partner_site&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=AprilFOCEBanner\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-453669 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"860\" height=\"106\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.circularonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/CIWM-394-FOCE-25-Leaderboard-728x90px-scaled.jpg?resize=860%2C106&amp;ssl=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.circularonline.co.uk\/news\/pepsico-expands-partnership-with-fairshare-with-210000-grant\/\">PepsiCo expands partnership with FairShare with \u00a3210,000 grant<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.circularonline.co.uk\">Circular Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 PepsiCo has expanded its partnership with food redistribution charity FairShare with a \u00a3210,000 grant.
