Hunters For Good is an emerging grass-roots 501(c)3 non-profit venison donation program with our current priority being food insecurity in North Texas.THE NEEDThe USDA 2011-2013 U.S. national average food insecurity rate is 14.6%. Texas has a disturbingly high rate of 18.3% - lower only than Arkansas and Mississippi. This means that over 4.5 million Texans don't have access to enough food for an active, healthy life by all members of the household. That's almost one-in-five Texas households. And, over one-in-four are children that live in these households struggling to afford food. The Dallas County food-insecurity rate is 20%. Other rates in North Texas counties that exceed the national average: Tarrant, 18%; Denton, 15.8%; Collin, 15.3% and Rockwall, 13.3%, according to research by Feeding America (2009-2012). Our current focus is North Texas with the priority being Collin, Tarrant, Dallas, Denton, and Rockwall counties. HOW WE HELPHunters For Good has chosen venison as our preferred method to help fight hunger because white-tailed deer are abundant in Texas. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department estimates a population of 3-4 million white-tails, the largest population of any state in the nation. And, there are over 500,000 hunters. The potential to feed many hungry Texans is enormous! What sets us apart is a venison donation program that works with participating deer processors to provide no cost processing of donated venison. This approach encourages venison donations tremendously. Once processed, HFG partners with HFG partners to distribute the packaged venison to area food banks and food pantries not normally served by venison donation programs.Our program encourages venison donation, helps avoid waste of harvested venison and provides much needed lean protein to hungry Texans.
