Has there been, or is there an orginization like this?

Basically hunters going out and doing what they love! Hunting!!!!

A portion of what they kill is donated to local food shelters.

I think it would be a pretty cool idea, and win win on both sides.

Great way to help our fellow man, generate amazingly good publicity, and do what we love...hunting :)

In some places you can donate your meat and just drop it to a butcher and call the food bank,..they take care of the rest
 
Good idea my friend but it has been tried around here and the poor so called hungry folks wont eat it,they want beef.A local farmer grew several acres of spuds and was willing to provide transport from the city to dig them free of charge and not one taker.
 
That is an excellent idea, I know that you can donate meat (not sure how though) and it does go to where it is needed.
I would be interested in taking part in something like that.

The Aboriginal, Inuit, and Metis Peoples have been doing this for thousands of years and still do it now. Give me more tags and I'll do it too.

Between my GF and I, and my Buddy and his Wife, we take 10-12 legal whitetails per year, plus moose, mulies, and or elk. Not a pound goes bad or into the garbage.There is more people asking for it, than I have to give away, especially when I'm making sausage, jerky and pepperoni. I shot a buffalo in January and its almost gone and i might take another one in a few weeks before it gets too warm.


Like I say, there is more to give away than I can shoot. More tags please :)
 
I've only had venison twice, both times shot by someone other than me, but I have to say. I loved it so much I could never see myself donating it. Sharing with my friends, and those whose lands I hope to hunt on certainly. But its just too damn good to give away.

Venison... sooo good...
 
Waterfowler, myself and others donated a pile of venison to a shelter in Peterborough.... No issues with donating but they preferred burger for versatility. Also our venison (or at least mine) was professionally cut and wrapped. It would be nice if some good publicity could come from this though.
 
I'll contact the Edmonton foodbank later this month once things cool down, and see what they say, would be nice to have a legit non-profit orginization. Could attract new humanitarians who will want to come out and get into hunting!!
 
Nova Scotia has an organization like that; I cant for the life of me remember its name, but I know their ad features prominently in the Reg Handbook/Licence Sticker Book.

The idea being that all game can be donated and its distributed to feed the hungry across the province. I really do wonder though how successful they are - either in terms of the donations or having people accept it.

My wife worked at one of the churches here in town (SW ONT) and when I offered to donate a brace of rabbits for a stew which we would cook ourselves then bring to their weekly program (essentially a soup kitchen) we were told it wouldnt happen under any circumstance; the people who came to that woulnd't want to eat it. Hmm.
 
A guy I used to work with told me that if you played your cards right and got the right draws in that you could shoot something like 7 whitetails and 2 mulies in Alberta. You certainly could donate some of that, unless you had a helluva bunch of kids!
 
Too many jurisdictions will not take the meat - even specific food banks and soup kitchens - because the meat is not inspected.

And then the homeless etc would rather have McDonalds.
