HUNTERS FOR THE HUNGRY, 2: How hunting helps feed the 
hungry ... Details ahead on Passport to Texas

It's deer season. And perhaps hunters who harvest 
several deer would consider donating one of them to 
Hunters for the Hungry.
 
Hunters for the Hungry is a statewide venison donation 
program. And it involves individual hunters, meat processors, 
and then the emergency food providers who get the meat. :12

Pam Robers (row-berz) is with Texas Association of 
Community Action Agencies. For a minimal fee, 
participating meat processors will turn the deer into 
ground meat for hungry Texans. There is a way the 
processing fee can be waived.

One of the things that we've been promoting this year is that we 
do have nine high schools that are also participating as 
processors. And if they can, the first twenty-five deer that are 
donated through a high school program that's training the 
students for meat processing will be fully covered. And if, 
hunters are willing to make a little extra effort, and locate one 
of our high schools or the FFA's in their area that are doing 
meat processing, that's another way to help the community. :27

Find all the information you need about Hunters for the 
Hungry, including participating processors, at tacaa.org.

So, all the hunters out there, if they bring in that one deer and 
the still want to go hunting, but don't have the freezer space - 
go hunting and think of us and donate that second deer. :09
