Deer program targets needy

Kansas firearms deer season ends today, and hunters out strictly for sport can contribute their meat to a regional Feeding the Hungry program.

Meat processors in Anderson, Coffey, Franklin, Linn, Miami and Osage counties will take donated deer and process it into two-pound packages to be distributed to area food pantries.

Participating processors are Mound City Butcher Block, Spring Hill Meat Market and Santa Fe Trail Meats in Overbrook.

For information, call 785-242-2073.
