How to Donate Game Meat in Seattle, Washington
There are several national organizations that help hunters donate meat they do not need. Two of the better-known organizations are Hunter's Harvest and Sportsmen Against Hunger. Numerous food banks accept donations of game. Because the organizations that accept these donations usually operate on a shoestring budget, your game meat should be cleaned and processed before you give it away. Most donations are the product of active hunters cleaning out their freezers before the start of a new season.
