Champaign-Urbana, IL-(Effingham Radio)- In a recent interview with Michelle Fombelle and Meredith Probst, it was revealed how successful the Deer Donation Program for east central Illinois has been during it’s first year. The program works with deer hunters and processors to get fresh, lean deer meat into food pantries to help offset the rising cost of inflation on all our groceries, especially meats.
Michelle and Meredith first explained the statistical success of the program, and how well the program was received.
They said the program has been successful enough to plan on another season of donations.
Meredith and Michelle also mentioned that word of mouth is still one of the best ways to help the program expand.
We thank Michelle and Meredith for explaining more about the Deer Donation Program’s successes, and how it will look moving forward. More information on the program can be found at https://extension.illinois.edu/food/deer-donation-program
