HUNTERS ENCOURAGED TO SHARE THEIR HARVEST WITH FAMILIES IN NEED
Hunters across the state of Missouri are being asked to share their harvest to help feed families in need.
The Missouri Department of Conservation Share the Harvest program provides food to the hungry through deer meat donated by hunters.
Hunters can choose to give part or all of any deer they harvest. They simply bring their deer to an approved meat processor to process the venison, usually into ground meat, where it is then packaged for distribution.
Share the Harvest is a statewide partnership between MDC, the Conservation Federation of Missouri, cooperating meat processors, and hunters.
For more details on the Share the Harvest program and a list of processors participating, visit mdc.mo.gov/share.
