Hunters for the Hungry
Hunters for the Hungry is a government sponsored program that assists in providing meat to needy families. I am a big fan of this program here in Kentucky, and recommend that hunters check for the availability of this program in their home state.
The way the program is structured is pretty simple. Designated game processors will accept whole deer from hunters wishing to donate them. There may be a nominal charge involved in donating a deer, or the cost may be completely covered depending upon the state. The game processors will take the meat that is donated, and provide it to needy families.
This is a great way to take a sport that you love, and give back to the community. I urge all hunters to check their local fish and wildlife agency for details on this program, and participate if possible.
In touch economic times, I anticipate that the need for donated venison will be higher than ever this year.
