Donating Meat
« on: October 04, 2017, 01:12:39 AM »
Hi,

My freezer is getting a bit full and I still have a tag to fill.  Is there any Foodbank or organization like Hunters for the Hungry around the Puget Sound Area that will accept donated meat? 

Thanks,

jsuyes

I bet a bunch of people will trade you for tag soup.

What kind of meat is it?
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Most of those organizations only accept it if it's commercially packaged.  The organization I was aware of is long gone, but I know there is another in Kettle Falls if you're up for the drive.

I would check with churches. Some of them feed and shelter the homeless at night, especially during the winter.
When I was living over there, I was aware of St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Bellevue feeding and sheltering men in transition. I looked at their website, and it was arranged through the Eastside Interfaith Social Concerns Council. Website: http://eiscc.net/         They have a list of resources that may be helpful...

Thanks for the help.  Ill give those places a call.

To answer another question:  I haven't filled the tag yet.  Ill be hunting the late archery season.  I plan to take an animal and I want to have a plan together for dealing with it before hand.

Make pepperoni/sausage sticks, you'll snack that freezer empty before you know it.   :chuckle:
