Arkansas’ modern gun deer season is underway and one statewide organization is reminding hunters in Arkansas how they can join the fight against food insecurity.
Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry helps families in need by providing food pantries with fresh protein sourced in Arkansas’ deer woods. Organization President Ronnie Ritter tells KTLO that the group’s mission is to transform a renewable resource into food for the hungry.
Deer can be dropped off at any participating facility, processed and then picked up by the organization and distributed to local food pantries. There is no cost to the hunter.
Participating processors in the region according to the group’s website include Tilton’s Wild Game Processing in Harrison, Makin Bacon in Yellville, and Carnivores Deer Processing in Leslie.
More information on the program can be found at the Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry Website.
