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.
