Hunters
Helping the Hungry Needs Help with Meat-Processing
Costs
Hunters Helping the Hungry, an organization that has
enabled hunters to donate thousands of pounds of venison
since 1997, now needs some help from the public to cover
the costs of professional meat processing. The program,
which donated more than 8,000 pounds of venison to food
banks and charitable organizations last year alone,
operates with limited funding. Butchers who participate in
the Hunters Helping the Hungry program receive $65 to
process the donated deer. Currently, hunters who donate
deer to feed the hungry must contribute at least $25 toward
that processing fee. If the program’s funding runs
out, hunters who donate deer will have to cover the entire
cost for meat processing. Hunters should check on funding
availability before harvesting a deer intended for donation
by visiting www.huntershelpingthehungry.org.
Anyone interested in making a charitable contribution to
offset the program’s meat-processing costs may send a
check payable to: Hunters Helping the Hungry, P.O. Box 587,
Lebanon, NJ 08833.
