For Your Information:
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. Participating Butchers Include: Game Butchers John Person Lebanon (908) 735-4646 Bishop’s Market Whitehouse Station (908) 534-9666 Country Meats of Washington Washington, Warren County (908) 689-1266 Mark Godek Livestock Marlboro (732) 462-3695 Hometown Butcher 967 Route 524 (Adelphia near Howell) (732) 462-8149 Butchers will not accept donated deer during the Six-day Firearm Buck Season so they can accommodate their regular customers. |
