do they do this for hogs too ?

Yeah, dang that sucks, I could feed all of South Texas, But not at $35 a piece cost to me to donate.

What a great cause!

Its easy for us to find local people that need the meat. But its not very often that we have meat to donate. Just about everyone that comes here to hunt will take the meat home with them.

Where we take ours is free too.

maybe I missed it but does anyone know of one in Leon Cty near Centerville?

I donated to an outfit in Burleson last year. I shared with a farmer that I met that I was donating pigs that I had trapped and some deer that I hunted and before I knew it I was hunting and trapping almost every night with that landowner so we could donate meat. This kind of thing has a contageous property to it. Spread the word and the wealth

Hell im hungry! Yall can donate to the wright cause foundation lol

"My last name is wright"

Are you able to donate a deer and keep the backstraps/loins, or does the deer have to be whole? If they are going to grind it, and we have to skin it before dropping it off, we might as well take those cuts for our time, right?

Got an email back from the Dallas Safari Club and it looks like they are going to again sponsor the Hunters for the Hungry program. They chip in and cover the processing fee at a few deer processors around the state. Here's the link to the ones they sponsored last year.

I would like to come out and hunt to donate the meat but i have no money to buy the hunts i just have my gun and ammo

I hunt because I'm hungry. I also do ALL my own processing. I do feel though that if there is going to be a donation to a good cause. Processors should donate to a good cause as well. I know that people pay good money for leases and corn is thru the roof. There is also gas to get the game there as well. Hunters donate meat processors donate labor and together help feed others just my .02 think some processors might second guess the charge or not participate. It would be hard for me to attach my name to a good cause (donation) when I has charged someone to help out the cause.

Good cause

anyone know somebody that will recieve meat in the RGV (harlingen, brownsville, mcallen) area... I can do the 30bucks..

Goldthwaite, Mills county,...there's a Church group there that works with the Meat Locker plant in town and will take your deer in. The meat is used to feeds locals in the area. You can pay the $30 to help the locker plant offset some costs or they will take it with no charge.

is deer the only meat allowed?

Strong Foundation Ministries in San Antonio accepts hogs. They prefer them processed, but you can drop them off just skinned and quartered.

I hope this is ok to post this here. I'm in Galveston County and I would gladly pay the processing fee to be able to receive a deer or hog. I'm a single mom with 2 sons and my best friend husband used to keep my freezer stocked with game and fish. But he passed away 3 years ago of cancer. So now struggling to keep meat in the freezer. I am already registered on the Hunters for the Hungry site, which a hunter friend on facebook that lives in IL told me about. But thought I would take of chance posting here. I know none of our local food banks ever have any kind of game. I can even travel a bit to pick up.

If they dont throw it all away again. what was it? like a million pounds that 1 year?

I'll bet you will have a lot of deer in your freezer within a week . I'm in dickens county to far from you to help ,but I know the hunters on THF and they will help you out. good luck .

Sounds like a good cause..I don't agree with the processor fee though. If I donate so should they

Nope, my freezer is still empty. I did hear for one person who said he will get me some after next hunting season.

And me and my youngest son just relocated up to Bedford. I have started checking out places up here, but still no luck. But than again, still finding my way. Have only been here a little over 2 weeks.

Should be able to help out with a deer or two and once the pigs start coming back around, that shouldn't be a problem either.

May not be able to get any saltwater fish, but got a 5 acre pond stocked with bass, black crappie, bluegill, channel and blue catfish and can have those available too.

That just sounds awesome to me. And I can travel to come pick it up. I am up in the Dallas area now, And I no problem driving to get it. You are a God send, thank you.
