WEST UNION, OH – The Southwest Ohio Chapter of Safari Club International (SCI) along with Adams County Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife donated venison to help needy families in Adams County today.
Hunters wishing to donate their deer to a food bank or outreach center are, in most cases, required to pay for the processing of the venison. Organizations such as SCI and FHFH partner with private meat processors to help absorb the cost of deer processing in many communities.
These efforts have resulted in a large donation of venison to the Second Blessing Food Pantry located in West Union, OH. The donation totaled about 750 lbs. of ground venison. The two organizations have made donations in Adams County totaling 2000 lbs. during 2011-2012 with future donations planned. Food pantries generally receive very little red meat donations and venison is a healthy low in cholesterol alternative.
Hunters in Ohio still have time to harvest multiple deer during the 2011-2012 deer seasons. For more information on donating venison, visit www.wildohio.com. For information about SCI or FHFH visitwww.sciswo.org or http://www.fhfh.org/Home.asp
