Deer Donation Program Provides Help for Families in Need
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 10/18/2017

Each year, hunters, meat processors and food pantries help families in need by working closely with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and its partners donate thousands of pounds of venison. The Deer Donation Program, which was established in the year 2000, has provided more than 90,000 deer and 3.6 million pounds of venison to food pantries across the state.

"This is a great opportunity for hunters to enjoy the sport of deer hunting while helping those in need," said Noah Balgooyen, DNR wildlife biologist. "Food pantries are eager to receive venison, and individuals and families are truly appreciative of the venison they receive."

Donated deer must be sampled for CWD prior to, or at the time of donation.
