Feeding New Zealand: The story behind the 'Meat The Need' telethon

Ready to feel inspired and make a difference? Join me for a heartening conversation with Wayne Langford, the driving force behind the life-changing 'Meat the Need' telethon. The aim? To provide a whopping 1.2 million meat and milk meals for 110 food banks across New Zealand. Wayne, a humble farmer with a massive heart, takes us through the conception of this incredible charity event as it enters it's second year. It is a testament to the strength of community unity in bolstering the vulnerable during tough times. The charity initiative began with feeding the homeless but quickly discovered the wider need in the community. Yes, even middle-class families can experience hardship due to unforeseen expenses. Food is a basic human right and these guys are making sure it’s delivered. Hear about the immense potential of surplus food from the farming sector in supporting local communities. And brace yourselves, the upcoming telethon is not just about giving, it's about having a blast while you're at it. With a mélange of challenges, activities, and even a potential tattoo artist's involvement, it's an event that promises unpredictability and excitement. So come, be a part of this amazing journey, and remember - every donation counts. For further information, to watch, and to donate visit their website - https://meattheneed.org/
