My daughter volunteers at the largest homeless shelter in Lancaster. She was working in the warehouse distributing food when the PGC shows up with a ton of ground venison.
She started handing it out, and also had to make room in the freezers.
That was nice of them.

I try to donate one every few years. Often times, I keep a bag of ground venison to give to someone I know in need when the time arises.

I don't know if hunters realize just how much this helps families in need. In the late eighties, my oldest son had a friend that didn't show up for a soccer game. I went to his home to find his mother in tears. She had to quit her low paying job at a local grocery store because she made too much money to qualify for food stamps. She needed the job to help pay her husband's pharmacy bills. He was unable to work fulltime. The family of four were having a tough time keeping their heads above water and she noted that they hadn't had any meat for dinner because it was unaffordable. I asked if they would like some venison and she said they would gladly accept it. That year I gave them the entire first deer I harvested in the form of ground venison and sliced steaks, all processed and packed for freezing. I'll never forget the evening I delivered that to her door. She told me some time later that if I could just provide all ground venison, she could make it go further in meals. When my buddies and I would do our deer up together, we always made sure to include burger for this family.

Ms. Doris and I support our local food bank with lots of fresh garden vegetables in season. I also donate one deer per year in the form of ground meat. I pay for the butchering. This food bank is run by a local church.
