Montana Hunters Against Hunger
W
ild Game meat is a very important source of high-quality, cost effective protein for those in need. Montana Hunters Against Hunger is a program developed by the Montana Food Bank Network that arranges for hunters to donate their big game kill to provide meat for those in need. Hunting is such a big part of our culture here in Montana and so is helping our neighbors in their time of need so it is a perfect fit. We encourage those who enjoy hunting to buy an extra tag and hunt for the food bank.

1. In Western Montana and the Missoula area, hunters can bring their animals to the food bank where we will store it on a refrigerated truck before taking it to our Cannery facility at the state prison in Deer Lodge where it will be processed and frozen. Then the meat will be returned to us here and we will distribute it to those in need through our network of partner agencies.
We can only accept game that is whole, legally taken, properly tagged and in good condition.
2. The second way that hunters can participate if they are outside the Missoula area is to contact the Montana Food Bank and we will put you in touch with your local food bank. You can then ask them if they would like to take the meat.
3.The third way that hunters and non-hunters can help is to donate funds to help us cover the processing costs for our partner agencies.
