🚨 NEWS: Ohio’s Field to Food Bank Program Expands in 2026 🙌
🦌 Our agency is asking white-tailed deer hunters to consider harvesting an extra deer to help feed Ohio families again this year. The Division of Wildlife’s Field to Food Bank program is accepting deer donations on multiple dates during the upcoming hunting season.
We started the program last year as a dual-benefit strategy to manage Ohio’s white-tailed deer populations and address food insecurity in our state. In the program’s first year, 182 deer were donated, amounting to 36,400 venison servings. Field to Food Bank leverages hunters’ harvests as a conservation tool and community resource.
