Kansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry Program
KSHFH invites you to donate any legally harvested deer or elk to our participating meat processors. There is no cost to donate your deer or elk as long as the KSHFH organization has sufficient funding to cover the processing expense. Donated game must be field dressed and legally tagged. If you would like, you may also donate a portion of the meat you are having processed for yourself to a participating processor also.

Just ONE deer can feed nearly 200 hungry people in the state of Kansas. In 2010, there were 1108 deer donated plus other meat, feeding nearly 225,000 meals.

Contributions from hunters, businesses, churches, sportsmen’s clubs, organizations and other foundations help to fund the KSHFH. The primary expense for this organization is being able to pay the participating butchers to process, package and freeze the donated venison for distribution by local food pantries. Volunteers help to organize and coordinate the efforts of KSHFH in communities across the state by helping with fundraising, promotional gatherings, meat donation, meat distribution and much more.

If interested in how you can become a volunteer and help in your community, contact a member of the Board of Directors for information and opportunities. As a statewide effort, we can make a difference.
