9 processors accepting Hunters Helping the Hungry donations

Hunters may begin donating deer to the Hunters Helping the Hungry program at nine 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; Plattsmouth – Meat Garden Butchery and Fine Table Fare Inc.; Table Rock – Den’s Country Meats; Ulysses – The Butchery; and Wahoo – Wahoo Locker LLC.

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. This year, the program is expected to reach 950,000 meals provided since its inception.

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.

Learn more about the program or how to support it at OutdoorNebraska.gov, search Hunters Helping the Hungry.
