With more than 1.1 million Michigan residents annually seeking food assistance, the DNR encourages hunters to keep this critical need in mind as they head out this season.

You can make a cash donation to Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger (MSAH) when purchasing hunting licenses this year or donate your deer at one of the participating processors.

Cash donations will be used to support the processing of deer donated to participating processors. Last year, the venison donated to local food banks and food kitchens throughout Michigan supplied enough meat to provide more than 100,000 meals.

When renewing fishing or hunting licenses, residents should tell the license vendor of their intent to make a monetary donation to the Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger program. Anglers and hunters can donate in amounts of $1, $5, $10 or $20. The vendor will simply add the donation amount to the overall purchase price and it will show up as an additional item on the license.  

Those who would like to donate a deer should visit the MSAH website, www.sportsmenagainsthunger.org to find the nearest processor. Currently, those listed in Cass County include Drakes and Vlasicak Meat Market in Cassopolis and Terrills Supermarket in Marcellus.

Since 1991, MSAH has been working to create linkages between donors, wild game processors and charities that feed needy individuals. MSAH is an all-volunteer organization and is led by sportsmen and women concerned about making a positive difference in the community.
