Central Missouri deer hunters donated almost 14 tons of venison to area charities during the recent 2010-11 deer season.
The donation program was made possible by the Share the Harvest Program.
Most of the donated venison is ground, wrapped in one-pound packages, and frozen by processing plants in Central Missouri.
The Conservation Federation of Missouri and the Central Missouri Chapter of SCI paid the processing cost for whole deer donations. “Our chapter really appreciates the efforts by the deer hunters, meat processors, charities, Missouri Department of Conservation, Conservation Federation of Missouri, Safari Club International Foundation, Missouri Food Bank Association, Department of Economic Development and others who helped make the program so successful,” Lightsey said.
