The Illinois Deer Donation Program is returning for its third season under a new name, "Hunters Feeding Illinois." This change signifies an expanded collaboration between Feeding Illinois, the Southern Illinois Food Pantry Network, and the University of Illinois Extension.
The program aims to address hunger by facilitating the donation of deer meat to food banks and pantries across the state. The initiative allows hunters to contribute directly to local communities in need by providing high-quality protein sources.
The rebranding and expansion are expected to enhance the program's reach and impact, enabling more families to benefit from these donations. The partnership with established organizations like Feeding Illinois underscores a commitment to tackling food insecurity in the region.
By aligning efforts with local networks and educational institutions, "Hunters Feeding Illinois" seeks to streamline operations and maximize resources for effective distribution of donated venison.
