Grant Program Assists Food pantry Donations

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of
Wildlife has launched a pilot grant program in the cities of Coshocton and
Marietta in an effort to assist with the processing costs associated with
donating venison to a food bank.

"After evaluating the pilot effort, we will look towards expanding this
program statewide" stated James Marshall, Assistant Chief of the Division of
Wildlife. "Our hope is to establish a dedicated fund to provide money to
help donate venison to food banks throughout Ohio."

The grant program awards a $2000 subsidy grant to help to pay the processing
fee on donated venison. The grant money awarded by the Division of Wildlife
must be matched with $2000 of funds generated or collected by the
organization that receives the grant.
