What is Hunt To Feed
Hunt To Feed is a vension donation non-profit program.
We connect Connecticut's deer hunters with local butchers & meat processors where venison can be safely prepared as a donation for foodbanks, soup kitchens, and shelters. All deer donated through Hunt To Feed help feed Connecticut families who struggle with food insecurity and hunger.
How do I donate a deer?
Once your Connecticut deer is tagged and field dressed, you can drop it off at any of these participating Connecticut meat processors.
When can I donate deer?
We primarily accept deer during Connecticut's hunting season from September 15th until January 31st. If you have a crop damage permit and would like to donate deer outside of hunting season, please arrange a drop off by contacting Wes at [email protected].
How many people can one deer feed?
One deer provides up to 160 venison-rich meals.
How Much Does It Cost To Particpate
There is no cost to a hunter for donating venison with Hunt To Feed. All venison processing is paid for by Hunt To Feed through fundraising, donations, and sponsorships.
I can't donate deer, can I still participate?
Yes, we are currently accepting monetary donations and program sponsors for the 2025-26 hunting season. Thank you for your consideration!
