Hey deer hunters!

Hunters Feeding Illinois is a program that uses your generosity to help our local food pantries!  You can donate your field dressed deer to the program simply by taking it to one of our participating meat processors.

The Flock Farm in Anna

Triple C Meats in Anna

Shirley Farms Meat Processing in Desoto

Sanchez Meat Processing in DuQuoin

R&M Meat Processing in Ellis Grove

Birkner's Processing in McLeansboro

They'll process your deer, and then give it to the Southern Illinois Food Pantry Network!  Don't hunt but still want to help?  You can cover the cost of processing with a donation!  CLICK HERE for the online donation link!  I had a chance to talk with Toni Kay Wright, educator with the University of Illinois Extension, and Dawn Richards, dietician and Associate Professor at SIU on today's Kent in the Country Morning Show about this amazing program!
