Tenn. Wildlife Federation Provides Professionally Processed Venison Donations to Hungry Families

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Hunger relief agencies statewide are seeing record numbers of individuals and families seeking food assistance, and the demand is stretching limited resources. The Tennessee Wildlife Federation is helping to meet this need with a renewable resource in plentiful supply – venison, donated by hunters.

When the deer season ends next January, TWF’s Hunters for the Hungry program expects to have provided more than three million meals to hungry families across the state through donated venison. TWF began operating the program in 1999, and the impact has grown steadily ever since. It’s a reliable source of protein that many food banks and soup kitchens otherwise wouldn’t have, and venison is rich in vitamins and minerals with a third of the fat of beef. One deer can provide an average of 160 meals.
