Deer Donations Help Wisconsinites In Need
Consider making a difference with your deer this season.
According to data from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, more than 900,000 Wisconsin residents received food assistance in 2022. The DNR’s Deer Donation Program aims to alleviate some of that need by providing ground venison to food pantries throughout the state.
Wisconsin hunters supply the venison that stocks these shelves. Since the program began in 2000, hunters have donated 98,000 deer, totaling over 3.9 million pounds of venison.
The program runs through the end of deer hunting, so if you’d like to help out this holiday season, visit our Deer Donation Program webpage to learn how to contribute to this impactful program. |
