Hunters may begin donating deer to the Hunters Helping the Hungry program at eight processor locations around the state.
The participating meat processors are: Amherst – Belschner Custom Meats; Elmwood – Elmwood Meat Plant; Lindsay – Melcher’s Locker; Norfolk – R&M Meats; North Platte – Kelley’s Custom Pack; Pickrell – Pickrell Locker & Smokehouse; Ulysses – The Butchery; and Table Rock – Den’s Country Meats.
Hunters should call to check availability before hunting or delivering a harvest for processing. This includes non-HHH processors.
Hunters pay no processing costs for deer accepted by processors for this donation-driven program.
The HHH program is funded solely by tax-deductible contributions. Once processed, the ground venison is distributed by charitable organizations to Nebraskans in need. Since the program’s inception, more than 900,000 meals have been provided.
Processors accept only whole deer in good condition to ensure a good yield of pure ground venison. Hunters should first talk with processors but may keep antlers, head and cape and donate the rest of the deer.
