You can help feed your hungry neighbors throughout New York by taking four simple steps.

1. Donate any legally harvested deer by dropping it off at a participating processor.
2. We suggest you call one of the participating processors before dropping off your deer to ensure they can accept your deer.
3. Please handle the carcass as you would for your own family.  
4. When dropping your deer off at a processor, please complete the log sheet indicating your desire to donate the deer.
5. Let the processor know the type of ammunition/ method used (leaded, non-leaded, bow, etc.)
6. The donated deer will be processed, and the venison will be distributed to food pantries and food banks to help feed hungry New Yorkers.
