Summary
In just 18 months, Hunt for Good—a Bay of Plenty-based initiative—has transformed wild deer into life-saving meals, scaling from 4 tonnes to 14 tonnes annually, feeding over 94,000 people. Started in late 2024, this grassroots effort now spans multiple regions, powered by 70-80 volunteers who hunt, process, and deliver venison mince. Partnering with the Tauranga Community Foodbank, they’ve become a “saving grace,” distributing high-quality meat to schools, shelters, and the homeless. Recently honored with the Heart of the Community Award, the team thrives on feedback from grateful recipients and the shared mental health benefits of hunting. Their next goal? Expand to include beef donations, turning more local meat into more meals for those in need. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
