We're part of Game Changer NZ. A new nationwide programme that makes it straightforward for hunters to donate wild deer to their local foodbank.

You don't need to sort the butchering or figure out the whole process yourself. Game Changer NZ coordinates it. You hunt, you donate the animal, they handle the rest — and the meat comes back to us as packaged venison for food parcels.

One deer puts around 200 protein meals on the table for local whānau in Paeroa. That's a solid result from one hunt.

To register as a Game Changer NZ hunter:
👉 https://gamechanger.wgrt.org.nz/hunters

There's a short knowledge check (about 2 minutes) covering food safety and handling basics. Once you're registered, Game Changer NZ will be in touch when there's a need in our area.

Know a hunter who'd be keen? Tag them below or pass this on.

🌿 Help Us Spread the Word, Paeroa!

If you follow and share the Paeroa Neighbours Foodbank page, you’re helping more local whānau find support when they need it most.

It would be a big help to simply make sure people know where to turn for a food parcel if they ever need it with no judgement.

Your share might reach a neighbour who’s having a tough week, a family who could use a food parcel, or someone keen to lend a hand.

💚 Give our page a follow, like and comment on our posts
💚 Share posts with your friends and whānau
💚 Help us reach more people in our community

The more people who know we’re here, the more people we can help.

Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi — with your basket and mine, our community thrives.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴.

In the year ending March 2025, Paeroa Neighbours Foodbank distributed 293 food parcels.

In the year ending March 2026, that number rose to 411.

That's 118 more families and individuals in our community who needed help putting kai on the table in just one year.

The cost of living isn't easing up. When power bills, fuel, rent, and groceries keep climbing, it doesn't take much for a household budget to break. We're seeing that reality play out in our town every week.

Running a foodbank in that environment has its own pressures too. Food costs have risen significantly year on year, and community donations have become harder to rely on consistently.

Last year we were incredibly grateful to receive a generous anonymous donation following a local newspaper article which contributed to help cover much of our food costs for the year. That kind of support is rare, and it made a real difference.
But the need keeps growing. And we'll keep showing up.

If you'd like to help every bit counts. It could be dropping in food, making a financial contribution, or simply sharing our page.

We've just joined Game Changer NZ. A new nationwide programme connecting hunters, butchers, food banks, and communities to get quality protein to people who need it.

Here's how it works:
Hunters donate wild deer.
The community funds the butchering at just $120 per animal. Game Changer NZ coordinates everything else.
We receive packaged venison ready to go straight into food parcels for local whānau.

One deer = around 200 protein meals. At $120, that's about $5 a kilo — and it stays right here in Paeroa.

Protein is one of the hardest things for a foodbank to source. Meat is expensive and rarely donated. This programme changes that.

A few mates, a workplace, a church group, or a local business could fund a whole deer between them.
