Donate a Doe – or Some Dough – to Help Michiganders in Need

You can help fight hunger and ensure Michiganders have access to a nutritious protein source by contributing to the Hunters Feeding Michigan program.

Hunters can share their harvest by donating their deer at a participating processor or by taking part in deer donation drives. Each deer donated will provide an estimated 160 high-protein and nutritious meals. Thanks to the DNR's partnership with Feeding America and its collaboration with a statewide network of processors, venison donations go to Michigan residents in need.

Even if you're not a hunter, anyone can support the program with a monetary donation to help cover the cost of processing donated deer.
