‘Hunters for the Hungry’ Donation Programs Expand With Trump Executive Order

Nov 12, 2026
We are right in the middle of deer season, meaning millions of hunters are out there doing what they love—filling their freezers with lean, high-quality venison for their families. But while those hunters are putting meat on their own tables, nearly one in five American kids don’t know where their next meal is coming from—they’re what’s known as food insecure. So someone had the bright idea of bringing together these two groups. Hunters can now donate deer to certified processors—who will then turn that meat into millions of meals delivered to food banks, pantries, and even school backpack programs. Now, technically, these types of programs have been around for a while now—but they just got a major boost—in the form of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump directing the USDA, as well as the Interior Department to expand federal support for hungry American kids getting access to this high-quality meat. And so, if you’re one of the 11-plus million deer hunters in this country, stick around. I’ll give you the full breakdown on how the program works, what the new change actually means, exactly how easy it is to donate, which states are doing what with the meat—because it turns that these programs vary a lot from state-to-state—as well as why filling one extra tag this year could literally feed hundreds of kids, while allowing you to do something you already love—hunting deer.
