Local meat processor participates in Hunters Against Hunger
Local food pantries across the state are preparing to receive donations from the Hunters Against Hunger program. Locally, the Peoples Food Sovereignty Program will receive game processed by Round Butte Custom Cuts in Ronan.
This partnership between Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the Montana Food Bank Network allows hunters to donate a portion or all of their legally harvested big game animals to be processed free of charge. The meat is then provided directly to a local food pantry in the area.
Since its inception in 2014, more than 373,464 pounds of meat have been donated through the program and distributed to Montanans experiencing food insecurity through 29 food pantry sites. Meat is extremely expensive for food pantries to provide yet, it’s a highly nutritious resource for their clients.
