Hunt for Hunger

Hunt for Hunger Logo

Donate your harvested deer to feed hungry Hoosiers. In Indiana, you can enjoy a great day hunting and also help Hoosiers in need. In fact, one donated deer can provide 200 meals for a Hoosier family.

It’s simple –

  • Enjoy a deer hunting experience.
  • Harvest a deer.
  • Drop off the field-dressed deer at a local participating processor listed below.
  • Processing fees are paid for by Hunt for Hunger (no cost to you).
  • The processor creates healthy venison burgers to distribute to food banks.

About Hunt for Hunger

In 2008, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources launched the Sportsmen’s Benevolence Fund to provide an easy way for hunters across Indiana to help hungry Hoosiers in need. Since its launch, the program has grown across the state to collect thousands of deer donations, providing hundreds of thousands of meals for Hoosiers.

We’re now calling the program Indiana Hunt for Hunger, providing a clearer name to help all understand this program’s vital mission.

When hunters harvest a deer, they can donate the deer at more than 50 participating processing sites across the state. We’ll take it from there, processing the meat into healthy venison burgers and donating it to area food banks.

We’re proud to partner with Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry, the Dubois County Sportsman’s Club, and Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry for Indiana Hunt for Hunger.
