Thank you to our
PLATINUM SPONSORS
DONATED +9,000 MEALS TO NZ FAMILIES IN NEED
Allflex Livestock Intelligence
Backed by MSD Animal Health, recognises a good thing when we spot it- which is why we have been here supporting Meat The Need from the very beginning. We know our farmers produce the best meat in the world and that many of our farmers will be only too happy to share their produce with those families who are doing it tough. New Zealand farmers are historically very generous when it comes to supporting their communities and this farmer-led initiative provides an easy platform and process to allow them to share real NZ farmed meat with their communities. We want to say thank you to our farming families for following their lead and supporting Meat The Need as well.

FMG

We’re proud to be a 100% kiwi owned mutual where helping build strong and prosperous rural communities is at the heart of what we do – that’s why we’re chuffed to get in behind and support Meat the Need, a great farmer lead initiative that’s making a positive impact to many families throughout New Zealand.
