Venison Donation Coalition still helping feed New York state

This summer, the Venison Donation Coalition and its venison donation program was at risk of disappearing. They sent out a "Call to Action" to hunters, farmers and citizens of New York state to help feed the hungry. They asked for people to donate $1 to help pay for the processing of venison. Many answered the call but still donations are down. The Food Banks in New York stepped up to the plate and have offered to assist in funding the processing fees.

(Urban Institute, "Impact Evaluation of the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act of 1994," March 13, 1997, p. 3.)
