As food prices continue to rise and food insecurity affects more New Zealanders than ever, Meet the Need is proud to announce their partnership with leading agricultural brand Case IH, to help ensure no Kiwi goes hungry.

Through this collaboration, $50 from the sale of every new Case IH tractor in New Zealand will be donated to Meet the Need - supporting the delivery of nutritious, protein-rich meals to families through foodbanks and community organisations across the motu.

Founded by farmers, Meet the Need offers a practical, grassroots solution to food insecurity, enabling farmers to donate livestock, milk, or funds to provide quality protein to over 130 foodbanks and community groups nationwide. Since launching in 2020, the charity has already provided over 2.3 million meals, but demand continues to grow.

Meet the Need General Manager, Zellara Holden, says this partnership couldn’t come at a more important time.

“Right now, food insecurity is rising fast - and for many whānau, meat and dairy are luxuries they simply can’t afford,” Holden said. “We’re proud to partner with Case IH, who share our belief that everyone deserves access to nutritious food. Their support helps us deliver real meals to real families - and we’re calling on the rural sector to get behind us.”

“We know Kiwi farmers are generous. Every animal, every litre of milk, every dollar - makes a difference.”

Aaron Bett, Business Director – Agriculture ANZ at Case IH, said the partnership reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to the rural sector and to practical, community-driven action. “Farmers are already doing so much to support their communities,” Bett said. “Partnering with Meet the Need is another way we can amplify that generosity - and help deliver food security for more New Zealanders.”

As part of the partnership, the Case IH team will also continue to raise awareness and fundraise to support Meet the Need’s mission to feed hope, one meal at a time.
