KHFH is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization comprised of responsible hunters and conservationists who encourage hunters to harvest and donate an additional deer each season. Statewide donations are processed by KHFH affiliated processors and venison is distributed to homeless shelters and food banks throughout Kentucky.
In 2010, all hunters who donate a deer to an authorized KHFH processor will not be required to pay any processing fees as KHFH will cover all costs. Donate an "extra" deer to Kentucky's hungry and help further wildlife conservation for the benefit of all of Kentucky. Here's how it works: After you have filled your own freezer with venison for the season, pick up an extra doe tag (Zone 1) or use one of your regular deer tags for a "doe-nation."
Deliver the deer to one of the participating meat
processors. Call
Ivan Schell at 1-502-589-1000 for the name and location of the processor closest to you or go to
www.huntersforhungry.org and click on "Processors" or go to
www.kdfwr.state.ky.us and click on "Hunting" and then to
www.huntersforhungry.org. Donate the deer and you will be providing nutritious venison meals to thousands of less fortunate people stateside. And, you will be helping the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resource manage the
Kentucky deer population for the benefit of all concerned. For those who hunt in the six county area, including Jefferson, Meade, Bullitt, Spencer, Shelby and Oldham Counties, please check www.SportsmensChallenge.org and register to win prizes for your donations from one of KHFH's most dedicated sponsors.
Statistics indicate that Kentucky ranks high for its number of hungry children. The average age of a hungry person in Kentucky is eight years old. Protein is a proven ingredient in brain development and early learning potential. Kentucky's hungry kids need your help. So, become a Kentucky Hunter for the Hungry and friend of Kentucky Wildlife conservation.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is very supportive of the efforts of the Kentucky Hunters for the Hungry. This allows Kentucky sportsmen and women and children to play a major role in deer management while providing thousands of nutritious meals to hungry people across the state.
