Here’s How Our Meat4Forks Program Works!
*If you’re interested in donating livestock for the Meat4Forks program, you must call 260-233-1444 ext. 104 and receive pre-approval to one of our partner meat processors.
Animals are donated* by Farmers, 4-H’ers, and Individuals.
Pig, Cow, Goat, Sheep/Lamb, and Poultry
Animals are taken to a Hoosiers Feeding The Hungry partnering* meat processor.
*Meets Indiana State Guidelines and collaborates with Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry
Meat is then ground & packed into 1 pound frozen packages and at no cost to the donor.
The meat gets picked up by the partnering recipient agency at no cost to them.
Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry or the processor will call a partnering recipient agency for pick-up of the finished meat.
AND Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry Pays The Processing Fees!

The Hunt For Hunger program is in partnership with Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
Hunter’s can donate Indiana legally harvested whole, hide-on, field-dressed white-tail deer at a local Hunt for Hunger partner deer processor.
Meat is then ground & packed into 1-to-2-pound frozen packages and at no cost to the hunter.
The venison is then distributed to partner recipient food agencies.
The more who know, the more we can grow!
“Thank you for generously paying for the processing of 30 hogs that Kokomo Rescue Mission received from the Howard Co. Fair. We received 3,525 pounds of protein to share with those in need in our community.”
