Hunters Helping the Hungry provides the local hunting community the opportunity to help the growing number of neighbors in need. Legally tagged and properly field-dressed deer can be taken to participating processors at no cost to the hunter. The venison is processed and packaged and given to the Food Bank for distribution. For a list of processors, visit www.outdooralabama.com/hunting/HelpingHungry/
Donor Protection
The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, passed by Congress in 1996, protects citizens and businesses who donate apparently wholesome food or an apparently fit grocery product in good faith to a nonprofit organization for distribution to people in need.
