All deer must be whole (with head attached), legally harvested/tagged, harvest-reported and field-dressed prior to donation. All donated venison will be distributed to Michigan food pantries.
The Hunters Feeding Michigan program makes a positive difference in communities across Michigan by providing high-protein, nutritious venison meals. The program connects hunters, wild game processors and charities to feed Michiganders in need. Each deer donated will provide an estimated 160 high-protein and nutritious meals.
