Purpose
This web site is dedicated to providing information to those who wish to donate venison, receive venison, or contribute to, the venison donation program in Minnesota. It is supported by volunteers who believe in the program and whose goal is to provide a service to hunters and those who feed the hungry. If you do not find the information you need in these web pages, send an email and a volunteer will respond to your inquiry.
Background
Information
Since 2004, Minnesota has had a policy whereby hunters could donate venison to food shelves and feeding programs. From 2004 through 2006, 1200 deer were processed and distributed to charitable organizations through the efforts of volunteers including hunters, meat processors, community members, businesses and organizations.
In spring of 2007, the Minnesota Legislature passed a bill designating funds (deer hunting license fees, voluntary contributions and public startup money) for processing and delivering venison to charitable organizations. The Departments of Natural Resources and Agriculture administrate the program.
