State Farmer Pāmu Is Backing Three National Rural Charities This Year

State farmer Pāmu is backing three national rural charities this year. Meat the Need gets $25,000, Rural Change (Will to Live) $12,500, and IHC Calf and Rural Scheme will receive 41 calves valued up to $20,000. Pāmu chief executive Mark Leslie says the company is conscious of its responsibilities to people and communities and these three organisations are doing great mahi across the country. Pamu has supported IHC for decades and became involved with Meat the Need at its inception. The support for Rural Change is in recognition of the work they are doing in rural well-being particularly post-Cyclone Gabrielle. Meat the Need co Founder Wayne Langford says that the $25,000 donation means 21,300 mince meals will be distributed to fill tummies.
