Hunters, you must call the processor before arriving to ensure that they are capable of taking deer that day. Hunters are responsible for paying the agreed discounted rate for processing as a donation to the HFTH program when dropping off a deer. This donation is tax deductible. Some processors have funding for free drop off. Call ahead to your processor to determine availability of funding. Click here for a complete list of processors |

Sportsmen and Women, due to the generous donations to HFTH in different counties across the state, your processing fee may be free! That's right, FREE! We have volunteers in select counties that have been raising funds for HFTH within their county to pay the processing fee for the donated venison. These funds were donated from businesses, churches, civic groups, and personal contributions. Click on the link below for the list of processors that have allocated funding and the amount of deer available. Processors with funding |

 More than 11% of Tennessee’s children and 19% of the elderly go to bed hungry. Hunters for the Hungry is a program of the Tennessee Wildlife Federation in cooperation with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. Through this program, hunters and meat processors fight hunger by providing properly prepared venison to food banks and soup kitchens across the state. Donated venison provides hungry families a high-protein, low-fat supplement vital to a healthy diet. Also, venison donated to soup kitchens lowers food costs and puts more meat on the table at a critical time of year. As an example, donated venison allows the Nashville Union Mission to put meat on the table -- one meal in four -- at a time when many of their clients need the extra protein to keep warm while sleeping on the street. |
In (2003) TWF and the Hunters for the Hungry Working Group made the decision to institute the Pound or Pack method until donations reach a point to where we can provide every processor assistance.
