One donated deer can provide 200 meals for one family.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is encouraging hunters to help feed the hungry this year.
Hunters can help by donating their harvested deer. One donated deer can provide 200 meals for one family.
After harvesting and field-dressing a deer, hunters can drop off the deer to a participating processor. The processor processes and distributes venison burger to Indiana food banks.
The processing fees are funded through the Sportsmen’s Benevolence Fund. In 2020, more than 20,000 pounds of venison were donated.
Find a participating processor near you at sbf.IN.gov.
