INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - State wildlife officials are selling special lapel pins intended to help pay for processing donated deer meat that feeds low-income Indiana residents.
The state Department of Natural Resources' sales of the colorful $5 pins featuring the image of a deer will benefit the Sportsman's Benevolence Fund.
Proceeds go directly to deer processors that receive donated deer and then send the meat to food banks across the state to help feed low-income Hoosiers.
The group Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry says that one donated deer can yield enough meat to provide 200 people with a meal.
