GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Only a few short days until the 9 day gun-deer hunting season begins.
But what do you do if you have extra deer meat?
Director at Paul’s Pantry, Craig Robbins, encourages hunters to make a meat donation at 1529 Leo Frigo Way at no cost.
“After you’ve registered you’re deer, we ask that you field dress it. But you just drop the deer off here and we take it to the processor. All of the venison is processed into hamburger.”
Robbins says they try to give at least 1 pound of hamburger per household.
“One thing about the venison is that it’s higher in protein and lower in fat than regular hamburger and it can be used in the same way. So it’s really more nutritious.”
The program “Hunt for the Hungry” has been around for 23 years but they’ve been excepting donations for much longer.
Robbins says even if you have left over meat in your freezer from the previous year, they’ll take that as a donation as well.
