'Share the Harvest' is administered by the Conservation Federation of Missouri and the Missouri Department of Conservation, and processing costs of the donated meat is covered by the program. Once a deer has been donated and processed, the meat is distributed to one of the Southeast Missouri Food Bank's partner agencies to be shared with families and individuals in need. Throughout the Holiday Season, multiple food distribution sites in the 16-county area will also be available to help those in need.
The Southeast Missouri Food Bank, in partnership with Faith Temple Complex, received a $500,000 grant to help fight hunger in one of the most food insecure counties in the state
September is Hunger Action Month for food banks under Feeding America, and the Southeast Missouri Food Bank is kicking it off on the first of the month.
