Got meat? New Hampshire hunters can share their harvest with the needy through the “Hunt for the Hungry” program at the New Hampshire Food Bank. The food bank collects donations of whole or processed game animals for distribution to more than 350 food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and group homes statewide. The program offers packaging instructions and can pick up your meat donation.

To donate game, call Kaytlynn Brewster at the New Hampshire Food Bank at 669-9725, x240. If you’re donating a whole deer, you can bring it to Lemay and Sons Beef in Goffstown (622-0022), and they will process it for the food bank at no charge.

The New Horizons Food Bank in Manchester also accepts game donations to help feed the hungry. To donate game meat to New Horizons, contact Mike Tessier at 628-6133, ext 114. New Horizons is located at 199 Manchester Street in Manchester.
