Needs Help
with Meatprocessing
Costs
Hunters Helping the
Hungry, an organization
that has enabled hunters to donate thousands
pounds of venison to feed New Jersey families
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.
