The Pennsylvania Game Commission is once again offering the “Hunters Sharing the Harvest” (HSH) program, which provides donations of venison to help people in need.

Pennsylvania’s HSH program is recognized as one of the most successful among similar programs in about 40 states. It helps to deliver almost 200,000 meals to food banks, churches and other assistance programs in the Commonwealth.

To donate venison, hunters are encouraged to take a deer to a participating meat processor and identify how much of their deer meat to donate to HSH. There are a limited number of participating processors in our area; visit www.sharedeer.org for a list.
