In years past, a local meat processor has heard over and over again, please find something to do with the meat, I want to donate it. With that, this past deer season (fall 2018) was a huge success for the Hunters for Hunger program. This program was made possible by the Cumberland County Extension Office, SNAP-ED department, Jones Ridge Meats, Lake Cumberland Community Action, KDA, and USDA. It allows hunters to harvest deer and take them to Jones Ridge Meats for processing and the meat be donated to the USDA Commodities, Feed My Sheep Food Pantry, and Senior Commodities. As of December 3rd, 2019, a total of 456 pounds of meat had been donated and processed. Along with this program, Cumberland Sportsman Supply and Jones Ridge Meats are providing recipe cards for Cook Wild Kentucky at their locations. The cards offer a wide variety of recipes for rabbit, deer, duck, frog, and fish. The SNAP-ED assistant really led the program with little assistance from myself or any other local Extension staff.
