Alabama has designated October as Wild Game Meat Donation Month, highlighting efforts to provide food for those in need through the donation of wild game meat. The initiative encourages hunters and organizations to participate by donating harvested game, which is then processed and distributed to food banks and charitable groups across the state.

The program aims to address food insecurity while promoting responsible hunting practices. Donated meat is inspected and processed according to health standards before reaching recipients.

Governor Kay Ivey stated, "We are proud to support this important effort that not only helps feed hungry Alabamians but also promotes stewardship of our natural resources."

The month-long campaign seeks to raise awareness about the benefits of wild game donations and foster partnerships between hunters, processors, and local charities.
