IECA has teamed up with the Conservation Federation of Missouri and their Share the Harvest program to provide an easy way for hunters to donate venison to Missourians in need. Hunters may donate their extra venison to our participating meat processors who will grind and package the deer meat. The packaged venison will then be given to a local food pantry for distribution to local residents in need of food assistance.
Members can donate throughout deer season, which takes place September 15 through January 15. It costs nothing to participate. All you have to do is drop off the deer at one of the following:
Texas County Meat Processing, LLC
Zimmerman Meats in both Summersville & Salem locations
IECA and The Conservation Federation of Missouri pay the processing costs for donated deer and will take care of delivery to area food pantries.
