We are again accepting deer in 2025 for the donation program to feed the hungry in our community!
Interested in learning more about the DNR’s Deer Donation Program?
Wisconsin has a network of venison donation partners, including county land and water conservation departments, food pantries, charitable organizations, USDA - Wildlife Services and participating meat processors, who all help implement and administer the program.
Since the program began in 2000, hunters have donated more than 100,000 deer, totaling over 4 million pounds of ground venison, to help Wisconsinites in need.
