Meet the Need

Meet the Need exists to help bridge that gap.

We are a farmer-founded, charity connecting quality New Zealand protein with food banks and community organisations supporting people experiencing food insecurity.

Our vision is simple and ambitious: no one should go hungry or unnourished in New Zealand.

Since Meet the Need was established in 2020, farmers, processors, supporters and community organisations have come together behind that vision, turning the generosity and capability of rural New Zealand into practical support for communities across the country.

Last year, Meet the Need provided 1.2 million meals through more than 130 food banks each month. Since 2020, we have helped provide more than 4.2 million meals to New Zealand communities.
