Instead of raking and bagging leaves this fall, consider allowing them to stay and naturally decay. Fallen leaves, plant stems, flower heads, twigs, and logs provide crucial winter habitat for Indiana’s wildlife.

The warmth and cover of leaves provide shelter for Eastern box turtles, salamanders, and frogs, as well as insulation for butterflies and moths. Leaf piles can even benefit landscaping, as they can suppress weeds, retain moisture, and add nutrients to the soil as they decay. Leaves don’t have to be left exactly where they fall—you can rake them into flower beds and around tree bases.

Donate your harvested deer to feed hungry Hoosiers. One donated deer can provide 200 meals for an Indiana family.

Follow these simple steps:

Enjoy a deer hunting experience.
2. Harvest a deer.
3. Drop off the field-dressed deer at a local participating processor.
4. Processing fees are paid for by Hunt for Hunger (at no cost to you).
5. The processor creates healthy venison burgers to distribute to food banks.

About Hunt for Hunger

In 2008, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources launched the Sportsmen’s Benevolence Fund to provide an easy way for hunters across Indiana to help hungry Hoosiers in need. Since its launch, the program has grown across the state to collect thousands of deer donations, providing hundreds of thousands of meals for Hoosiers.

We’re now calling the program Indiana Hunt for Hunger, providing a clearer name to help all understand this program’s vital mission.

When hunters harvest a deer, they can donate the deer at more than 50 participating processing sites across the state. We’ll take it from there, processing the meat into healthy venison burgers and donating it to area food banks.

We’re proud to partner with Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry, the Dubois County Sportsman’s Club, and Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry for Indiana Hunt for Hunger.
