Good for you. Good for others.

Proceeds from all sales go towards donating products to those in need.

NEED products can provide optimal nutrition for the disadvantaged whose nutritional needs are continually compromised.

Disadvantaged people in our community typically have a lower protein intake and lack good nutritional diet than that of the general population, due to income inequality and irregular eating habits.*
They consume foods that are low in cost and nutritional value to satisfy hunger.*

The NEED range of products are designed to improve the health status of the disadvantaged by lowering their glycaemic load and therefore lowering their insulin levels. Sustained high insulin levels leads to insulin resistance, which is linked to many metabolic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes and diseases of the cardiovascular system. These diseases place enormous strain on our health system and cost the community $Billions yearly.

Our first delivery to Foodbank

We created NEED Products specifically for:

Homeless
So they have access to regular nutritious snacks.

Aged
Access and ability to eat nutrient dense food as appetite diminishes.

Children and families
Malnourished children lack focus in school and may not reach full potential physically or academically.

Indigenous communities
Nutritious foods like fruit and vegetables are considered luxuries due to high costs and inconsistent availability.

Farmers/rural communities
Where there are higher prices and availability of nutritious food is limited due to transport costs and extreme weather conditions eg. drought and floods.

OURVISION

OUR
VISION

As a social enterprise, our vision is to help all people thrive through good nutrition.

Need Nutrition can provide a range of products free-of-charge to the disadvantaged and vulnerable.

We all need nutrition for our health and wellbeing, every day of our lives. But for many in our communities, they don’t have access to this.

Whether homeless, aged or living in remote or poor communities, our products provide a daily intake of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals for improved quality of life.

Our aim is to provide easily accessed high quality nutritional snacks and drinks.

We believe Need Nutrition will help to improve the health of people in disadvantaged communities and may help prevent chronic health conditions and reduce the costs and strain on Government health services and care facilities.

We envisage Need Nutrition products becoming readily available via a range of distribution channels:

Community programs
Charities
Day/crisis centres
Food vans
Emergency services during crisis or disaster relief.
