HUNTERS HUNGRY: Processors needed to help feed 
Hungry Texans…ahead on Passport to Texas

This is Passport 

Feeding Texas is a non-profit association that 
represents food banks in the state. Hunters for the 
Hungry is one of the programs it oversees.

17— The way it works is, we recruit meat processors to help us get 
venison out to the families that we serve. For hunters it’s an 
opportunity to donate back to their communities. And, for our food 
banks, it’s an opportunity to have access to a really great lean 
source of protein that the families that we serve really need.

Celia Cole is CEO of Feeding Texas. She says Hunters 
for the Hungry enjoys enthusiastic hunter participation 
among deer hunters. Yet, Cole says they need more 
processors.

12— Our greatest challenge is bringing in enough processors. So, in 
all of the areas where there is a lot of hunting, we are in need of 
more processors. And that is the key to making this program work.

Cole says it’s easy for processors to sign up.

16— We have our websiteand processors can go there to sign up. 
Really, all they need to do is enroll with us and show a copy of their 
inspection and be willing to package the meat in the packaging that 
we provide. So, it’s fairly simple for a processor to register and 
become involved in the program.

Tomorrow: how Hunters for the Hungry benefits 
processors, hunters, and the community.

The WR program supports our series.
