Maine Hunters for the Hungry is once again asking hunters to donate some of their deer, moose and bear meat, to help feed hungry Mainers.
The state program takes donated meat from hunters and other sources and gives it to food pantries, soup kitchens and homeless shelters around the state.
Jason Hall directs the program. He says it's easy for hunters to donate - they just bring their field-dressed animal to a local processor.
"The processor does the rest of the work, calls me, and instead of me driving all over the state we try to get a local food pantry to pick up the finished product," Hall says.
There's a list of processors at Maine Hunters for the Hungry's Facebook page.
The program also takes road kill donations - as long as the meat isn't damaged - and partners with other organizations, such as 4H, to get meat into Maine's food pantries.
