What if I grind the deer/hog myself and drop it off? Then there shouldn't be any payment, correct? I'm doing all the work. If not, then I will be eating some ground.

I can't find anything in the Temple/Belton/Killeen/centex area, anyone know of one?

i am going to get a updated list shortly and maybe it will show some.

Sent a request for update on program and list of participates.

The program has been moved to:


The Texas Association of Community Action Agencies, Inc


About Hunters for the Hungry

Hunters for the Hungry is a statewide hunger relief program dedicated to providing a healthy source of protein to needy Texans. In Texas, 1 in 5 people struggle to afford food.

The Texas Association of Community Action Agencies, Inc., has worked with the Hunters for the Hungry program for the past two decades, and administered the program directly for 15 years. Since the program’s inception, it has provided nearly 2.5 million pounds of meat – or an estimated 10 million servings – to Texans in need.

In 2013, the Texas Association of Community Action Agencies, Inc., entered into an agreement with the Texas Food Bank Network to take over the Texas Hunters for the Hungry program.

About the Program

Hunters for the Hungry is a statewide hunger relief program dedicated to providing a healthy source of protein to needy Texans. In Texas, 1 in 5 people live in households that struggle to afford food.

Hunters for the Hungry facilitates the donation of freshly harvested deer to local food banks through a network of participating processors. Hunters only need to bring their deer to the nearest processor and pay a small processing fee to participate.

Since the program’s inception, Texas Hunters for the Hungry has provided nearly 2.5 million pounds of meat – or an estimated 10 million servings – to Texans in need. In 2013, the Texas Association of Community Action Agencies, Inc., entered into an agreement with the Texas Food Bank Network to assume management of the Texas Hunters for the Hungry program.

Great programs!

Is hunting season over?

How do we get on the list ? We are opening a full service wild game and domestic processing plant , with full retail meat market in Fairfield tx and would love to be a part.

Go to the website listed a few posts up or do a search on Hunters for the Hungry. The website tells interested processor's how to get in touch and get listed. I haven't checked this year but the Dallas Safari Club used to help subsidize the processing fee.

My have all ready been said but, Rendon Meat in Rendon Tx has Hunters for the Hungry. And also has great STEAKS TOO!!

Anyone know of a place in or around fortworth to drop off deer? Preferably NW side.

I am still searching for venison. I am up in the DFW area and will travel and pay for processing. Got an offer from Kentucky but am hoping for something a tad bit closer lol. I guess I need to learn to hunt.

not sure you can "pay" for it. thats not legal but someone can donate it to you, i think....

True. You are not allowed by law to pay for it or else I would have tried that years ago LOL. But I can pay for the processing of the deer or I can butcher it myself. Just don't know how to skin it.

Sounds like a good program, thanks for the info

Great program

2 years ago I had the opportunity to shoot some deer on MLD property, and wanted to donate one of the deer to a food bank. No one would take it. Several places wanted over $100 for their trouble to donate the deer and others said they could not take it due to wild meat and not knowing the condition of the animal. I didn't want to pay this, so I kept the deer. I spent some time finding places to no avail.

If you know of a place around Dallas, or between Breckenridge and Dallas, I'll donate this year.

That link didn't work for me. I found this to work: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets.feedingtexas.org/pdf/Hunters-for-the-Hungry-Processors.pdf

This guy is a total Rip Off . He will keep your money and your game. I would not recommend this guy at all He will never return your call and say he is going to get your your meat but nothing. I took a deer to him in December 2015. I still have not got anything. Call me I will tell you all about it 817-996-2000. Please help get the word out about this awful guy. So he doesn't rip off more people.

Great cause
