How It Works!

Protein is one of the most important nutrients for brain and body development, but sadly, it is also the most expensive commodity for a food agency to get. From farm and field to freezer and fork, your gifts help provide nutritious meat to hunger-relief agencies within your communities. Together, we can create a stronger, healthier Indiana.

Here’s How The Hoosiers Feeding The Hungry Program Works

Animal Is Donated By Farmers, Hunters, 4-H

Pig, Cow, Deer, Goat, Sheep/Lamb, Poultry

Animal Is Taken To A Hoosiers Feeding The Hungry Partnering* Meat Processor

*Meets Indiana State Guidelines and collaborates with Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry

Meat Is Ground & Packed Into 1-to-2-Pound Frozen Packages At No Cost To The Donor

Meat Is Picked Up By The Partnering Recipient Agency

Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry or the processor will call a partnering recipient agency for pick-up of the finished meat

Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry Pays The Processing Fees!
