2025 Calendar of Events - Hunters for the Hungry

Hunters for the Hungry operates a straightforward mission: collect donated venison from Virginia hunters and processors, then distribute it through food banks to people facing hunger across the state. No corporate speak, no overhead waste—just hunters and volunteers turning their harvest into meals.

The organization coordinates donations of field-dressed deer from individual hunters and participating meat processors. That venison gets distributed through their network to food banks serving families, seniors, veterans, and homeless individuals throughout Virginia. They handle the logistics while donors handle the giving.
