IHFH's mission is to transform Idaho's surplus wild, big game meat into nutritious food for the hungry.

IHFH's goal is to feed the hungry while utilizing one of Idaho's renewable natural resources.

 
Help IHFH feed the hungry. We are fundraising to pay for the processing of donated wild game and we need your financial donations.

  Donating venison and elk
  • Big game meat that has been processed by an affiliate butcher shop will be accepted.
  • Already processed meat can be donated at a participating IHFH distribution site. Click here to find a food pantry near you.
  • Home processed wild game is accepted if it was processed within the previous season. Please only donate meat you would feed your own family. This only applies to food kitchens and food pantries, such as churches, the Salvation Army, etc.
  • Road kill and improperly handled game can not be accepted due to possible contamination.
  • If you are not donating a whole deer or elk, please consider donating a few pounds! (Every little bit helps!)
  • Use care to properly field dress all game and deliver them promptly to the butcher shop.

Food Safety Procedures

  • Determine that the animal appears to be healthy, and does not exhibit obvious signs of illness.
  • Field dress the animal well and within a reasonable amount of time of harvest.
  • Cut the carcass into quarters if needed.
  • Chill the meat as quickly as possible to refrigeration temperatures.

Transport:

  • Protect the meat from contamination during transport by cover and separation from non-food items.
  • Maintain the meat as close to refrigeration temperatures as possible.

If you have questions, please call 790-3499.
