Hunters in the Texas panhandle are doing their part to help needy families this holiday,reports The Amarillo Globe-News. The Hunters for the Hungry program provides processed deer meat to families across the Texas Panhandle. The charitable endeavor is an effort in association with the High Plains Food Bank and Clint & Sons.

About 2,600 pounds of deer meat have been donated to the food bank so far this year. Here’s how it works: Hunters bring their game to Clint & Sons on Third Ave. in White Deer. They can donate trimmings or the whole deer. Clint & Sons processes the meat. Then food bank workers travel from Amarillo to White Deer to pick up the meat and disperse it to families in need.

Hunters pay a $50 processing fee. The food bank covers the other $50 needed to process a single deer.
