The Eastern Shore Chapter of the Hunters for the Hungry needs deer donations during this final month of the deer hunting season. The program has received over 75 deer to date with a goal of 200 deer. Now that the doe harvest restriction has been removed for the remainder of the season, the local chapter is encouraging hunters to donate deer to the program. The deer hunting season closes on January 3, 2015. Deer must be properly registered and field dressed. The deer may be taken to the refrigerated trailers at The Food Bank in Tasley, BB Convenience on Lankford Hwy in Machipongo, or Chris Bait and Tackle in Capeville. The deer may also be taken directly to the processors: Brent Powell, in Wachapreague, Matt Killmon at Buck Trails in Onancock, or Scott Hines at Eastern Shore Outfitters in Exmore. Matthews Market in Mappsville will take only skinned deer during business hours. There is no cost to the hunter to donate the deer to the program. The program is a non- profit organization and contributions are deductible as allowed by law. With 2014 closing, the chapter also encourages any final year donations to pay for the processing costs for the deer. Donations, made out to Hunters for the Hungry may be sent to Worth Saunders, chapter director, at PO BOX 1702, Parksley VA 23421.
