Our Process

A Peek Into Our Process

At Meet The Need, we partner with companies, farmers and community organisations to provide essential food to New Zealand families in need. Every donation counts in making a difference.

How it Works

01
Talk To Farmers

Farmers are generous and caring community members, and they let us know they want to donate cash, milk or livestock to feed NZ families.

02
Collect The Animal/Milk

Together, Meet The Need and Silver Fern Farms arrange the collection and processing of the donated livestock from the farmer. For milk donations, this is arranged with our partners Fonterra and Miraka.

03
Link The Need

Meet The Need staff speak with community organisations who feed New Zealanders in need and we arrange the safe and regular delivery of our donated meat or milk to them.

04
Deliver The Goods

Through our distribution network, we deliver the donated meals to key locations around NZ that can send out smaller quantities when our community organisations need it. We monitor to make sure our deliveries are timely and respond to changing demand from our food banks and organisations.

05
Share The Results

Communicate with our partners, sponsors and donors the impact that our charity is making as regularly as we are able, via our website and email newsletter, as well as our social media platforms. We want to ensure that each milk or meat meal donated reaches the families in need.

Meet The Need started with a vision that we could feed New Zealand. It seemed crazy at the time, but now it's amazing the difference we're making. All we wanted to do was connect the dots.
