donating game meat

Dan Christopher · 09-10-2002, 11:17 PM

does anyone know where one can take a game animal fresh out of the field to give to charity or something.
i always end up with more than i need and give it away anyway so i thought i would let someone else do the butchering.
i got 3 weeks to find something before the meat starts rolling in.any help would be great.

If you are looking to donate, I love game. Willing to come get it, and butcher. Not too many places left able to take wild game because of USDA restrictions. Anyway, If anyone finds themselves with too much meat, drop me a line.
Happy Hunting.

There's an organization called "Hunters for the Hungry" they work through some of the meat procesors. I'm sure one of the local processors could fill you in. I can't find anything at the moment.

MADWIZARD!!! I am the contact for Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry in Oregon.(FHFH.org) We are in great need for donated deer,elk,etc. It does have to be processed by a USDA processor and signed up with FHFH. We still are in the infancy stages for Oregon but I am working with Oregon Food Bank, and they are in need of meat. Please call me at 503 466-1717, ask for Rick. Also hunters, check out FHFH.org if anyone else is interested in donating part or whole portions of meat. I've been wanting to make some posts but I am in need of more help to take it to the next level. This is a great outreach, so if anyone is interested in helping, let me know.
