Hunters Help the Hungry

Hunters are helping to feed the hungry by giving to food banks across the province. This is the fifth year for the Hunters Helping the Hungry program, through which hunters help feed hungry families in Nova Scotia by donating deer and moose meat. Since the program was first introduced , hunters have donated 2,800 kilograms of meat.  After registering a moose or deer, hunters take the carcass to one of 18 participating, registered meat cutters throughout the province and indicate the amount of meat they would like to donate. Feed Nova Scotia then distributes the meat to 150 member food banks provincewide.  For more information on this program and other ways Feed Nova Scotia is helping hungry families, visit www.feednovascotia.ca .
