Hunters Should Share the Harvest this Season

| Darren Haverstick, chairman of CFM Share the Harvest Committee, with a doe he donated to the program. |
Share the Harvest allows deer hunters the opportunity to donate a deer or a portion of a deer to Missourians in need. Doing so provides healthy, nutritious meat to individuals or families that otherwise may do without. It's a program I am very proud to help administer, and one I am even more proud to participate in.
Each year, I try to find new ways to encourage hunters to participate by donating a whole deer or a portion of their deer to the program. Hunger is a real issue for too many Missourians. Food pantries across the state do their best to help those in need, but sometimes there just isn't enough supply to satisfy the demand. Especially in terms of meat. Grains, starches, cereals and other non-perishables are more readily available, but protein rich red meat is much harder to obtain. Share the Harvest is a major source of meat for the food pantries, but they could easily use twice as much as the program currently produces.
