National Wild Game Meat Donation Month

November 1, 2024 will mark the kickoff of The National Rifle Association’s (NRA) second annual “Wild Game Meat Donation Month” to encourage all hunters to donate extra venison or other game meat for those in need.

Giving and sharing are always in season, so now is the perfect time to do your part by donating wild game to organizations that process and then distribute it to the less fortunate in your area.

“We hope that other organizations can help celebrate the hard-working network of Hunters for the Hungry/Hunters Sharing the Harvest organizations around America by helping spread the word and asking their members to donate legally harvested wild game meat,” said Peter Churchbourne, managing director of the NRA Hunting Division. “New to this year’s celebration, we also request that all hunters share their wild game meat with a non-hunter,” he said. “Make a point to cook a meal and tell your story to a non-hunter in the 24/25 season. Our research proved that non-hunters will support hunting activities when they know a hunter. We also learned that when non-hunters understand that we consume our wild game meat, they approve of hunting by an astounding 98 percent. To enhance the cultural acceptance of hunting, all hunters can do their part and share a meal and tell your story.”

Recently completed hunter surveys show that if you are a member of a conservation organization you are three times more likely to donate to a Hunters for the Hungry organization. Unfortunately, in 2023 many of the Hunters for the Hungry network of processors did not receive enough donations to complete their missions. The NRA is a longtime proud advocate and supporter of the Hunters for the Hungry/Hunters Sharing the Harvest network and welcomes all hunters to join us in spreading the word about this worthwhile program.
