Venison Donation Coalition

 

With the down turn of the economy, budget cuts throughout the country, increased layoffs, etc., more and more Americans are feeling the crunch and being left hungry. Those going hungry are families, children and single parents and the donation of venison can help feed these people.

Welcome to the Venison Donation Coalition website. Feel free to look around and stay as long as you'd like. You can learn more about the VDC and its mission, donate a deer or money to the cause, find a participating processing center, and much more.

Half a million pounds of venison

Many farmers, hunters, processors, partners, individuals and sportsmen's federations, have assisted the Venison Donation Coalition with their efforts.

 Since 1999, the Venison Donation Coalition has been highly successful in its goal to feed the hungry throughout New York State. They have processed 337.51 tons of highly nutritious venison or the equivalent of 2,700,800 meals served. In order for this program to continue and flourish, the Venison Donation Coalition is seeking financial donations.

 

 

             For every dollar that is donated to the Venison Donation Coalition, $.95 is used towards processing the venison.  $105,000 was spent in 2008 on venison processing fees. Donations can be made at your Town Clerk’s office or anywhere hunting and fishing licenses are sold. Just inform the D.E.C.A.L.S. licensing agent that you wish to make a donation to support the Venison Donation Program. All donations through D.E.C.A.L.S. are deposited directly into the Venison Donation Fund. Donations can also be accepted through the secure website, or send a check payable to: Venison Donation Coalition, Inc., 415 West Morris Street, Bath, NY 14810.
