The Illinois Deer Donation Program has returned for its third season under a new name, "Hunters Feeding Illinois." This change signifies an expanded collaboration between Feeding Illinois, the Southern Illinois Food Pantry Network, and the University of Illinois Extension.

The program aims to address hunger by encouraging hunters to donate deer meat. It provides an opportunity for hunters to contribute to local food pantries and help those in need across the state.

This initiative reflects a growing partnership focused on utilizing resources effectively to combat food insecurity in Illinois communities.
