Hunt for Hunger program that allows hunters to donate meat to local food pantries enters fourth year of service By Brett Auten David Neier is at it again. Neier is set to launch his fourth Hunt for Hunger campaign this coming hunting season where he urges gamesmen and women to donate venison that will be distributed to local food banks. Last season, with the help and support of New Melle’s Dan’s Country Meats, Neier was able to process and deliver 1,500-pounds of venison to local pantries, including some who had never received venison before. “We gave one Salvation Army 200-pounds
worth of and it was gone within hours,” Neier said. After three years of Hunt for Hunger, more than 15,000-pounds of venison has been donated to people in the St. Charles and Warren counties through the Hunt for Hunger/Share the Harvest program. For those who would like to participate, you simply have to drop off your field dressed deer to Josephville Meat Market in Wentzville. There is zero charge to the hunter if they tell them it’s for the Hunt for Hunger/Share the Harvest program. You can also check with your local meat proces-
sor to see if it participates in the Hunt for Hunger/Share the Harvest program. If you are not a hunter, but would like to help, Hunt for Hunger has added another option. Simply contact the processor and let them know you would like to donate ground beef. Neier says that no amount is too small and that it will be distributed to the area pantries with the venison. Neier, a 12-year-old seventh grader at Francis Howell Middle School, has heard about the impact COVID-19 has had on See ‘HUNGER’ page 2
