We’re excited to share that our foodbank is now part of Game Changer NZ.

​

This incredible initiative helps provide quality protein to foodbanks across Aotearoa by connecting hunters, butchers, and communities together. Hunters donate the deer, local supporters help fund the processing costs, and the meat comes back to our foodbank to help support local whānau.

​

The need for kai support across our region has increased significantly, and we need continued support to help keep our foodbank running and ensure we can continue supporting whānau in our community.

​

Every contribution helps, whether it’s $5, $10, or simply sharing this post with others.

​

Here’s how it works:
• Your donation helps fund the professional butchering of a wild deer
• Once $120 is raised, a registered WGRT hunter gets the green light
• The deer is processed into venison mince
• The meat is packaged and sent directly to our foodbank
• Around 200 protein meals are then able to support local whānau

​

Protein is one of the hardest food items for foodbanks to source, so this support can make a huge difference to the whānau we help — and the best part is that Game Changer NZ does all the organising!
