Sportsmen’s Benevolence Fund helps feed the hungry

Indiana DNR Release:

Sportsmen, women and concerned citizens can help feed the hungry through the Sportsmen’s Benevolence Fund by purchasing the fund's lapel pins.

The pins are available from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division at a cost of $5 each. Proceeds go to organizations such as Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry, helping pay for the processing of deer donated to the program by successful hunters. The venison is given to various food banks across Indiana.

In 2008, more than 75,000 pounds of donated meat to FHFH was processed into 300,216 meals.

To order a 2009 SBF lapel pin, visit sbf.IN.gov.
