Maine’s Hunters for the Hungry program allows people to donate a portion or all of your harvest to a local food pantry. The program accepts deer, moose and bear meat.
Here’s how the program works:
- Hunters drops their harvest off at one of the program’s approved meat processors in the state.
- Hunters decide how much meat they would like to donate to a local pantry. (Hunters only pay the processing fee for the portion of meat they keep; the rest is paid for by the program)
- The processor then coordinates with a local pantry to donate the meat.
- The meat provides a nutritious protein source for people in the community.
