There are some groups set up in the states for hunters and fishers to donate their catch to food pantries (since a food pantry usually has some refrigeration). Of course, getting help from a pantry is different, there are often qualifications or church-related "you must be preached to in order to eat," or there is a stigma attached to going there, or you can only go at certain times and you work or something at that time. Also, having used a pantry a couple of times, there is almost never any protein and it's mostly processed junk food I couldn't eat with all my food allergies. But. Some people do try and get them fresh veg (there is also a group called produce for pantries where you can donate from your garden), and the hunter/fisher group, and such.

Its a shame these things can come with strings attached, but a good idea all the same. A possible step towards being able to provide perishables for others. Do you know if the meat is prepared (ie: gutted) first or if its something the one who takes it had to do? I know there can be a lot of regulations in that area if you are giving/selling food to the public.
It's a shame about the processed foods too. I guess some are just glad to get what they can, but like you say, for some the additives can make them very ill. That's why I'm on a bit of a mission to get real food to everyone.
Thank you so much for your input.
Yeah, as far as i know they have to gut it and whatnot because most people nowadays don't have those skills.
