Legislative Proposal
Would Extend Food
Bank Liability
ELIZABETHTOWN (Lancaster Co.) To
encourage hunters to contribute extra venison to
food through programs such as “Hunters
■Storing the Harvest," two state legislators have
joined together to promote legislation (SB SI 1)
to amend the Donated Food Limited Liability
Act for donated wild game meats.
The amendment from Sen. Roger Madigan
(R-Bradford) and Rep. Matt Baker (R-Bradford,
Tioga) will expand existing charitable organiza
tion food bank liability protection to persons
donating lawfully taken game.
Sen. Madigan said, “This legislation will
assist in promoting worthwhile programs” such
as the “Hunters Sharing the Harvest” project
Although it is legal for hunters to participate
now. Rep. Baker indicated that this legislation
will go a long way in encouraging more hunters
to make donations.
Senate Bill SI 1 has passed the Senate and is
currently being considered in the House. Rep.
Raifi».r has encouraged the House to take action in
time for the 1995 deer season.
The “Hunters Sharing the Harvest” venison
donation pro-gram is now in its fifth year. It is
spearheaded by Pennsylvanians for the Respon
sible Use of Animals (PRUA), which coordi
nates the efforts of hunters, meat processors and
food banks to put meat on the plates of needy
Pennsylvanians.
PRUA is a coalition of 17 associations ami
individuals representing agriculture, biomedi
cine, entertainment, sports and hunting groups.
The umbrella organization encourages humane
treatment of animals used for food, clothing,
biomedical research, entertainment and sport
while at the same time strongly supporting Pen
nsylvanians’ right to the continued, responsible
use of animals.
The coalition also provides factual informa
tion to the public, the media, elected officials and
those responsible for the care of animals so they
can have a better understanding of proper care
standards.
The “Hunters Sharing the Harvest” project
collects and distributes venison to hungry
Pennsylvanians.
Last year over 85,000 pounds of donated
meat reached the plates of the state’s needy fami
lies and individuals.
In the 1995 hunting season, PRUA hopes to
see an expansion of the project and make
100,000 pounds of venison available for
distribution.
PRUA has received support from Safari Clubs
International and the Pennsylvania Deer Associ
ation along with promotional assistance from the
Pennsylvania Game Commission and the
Department of Agriculture.
Conservation groups, hunting clubs and inter
ested individuals are encouraged to give their
extra deer meat to the needy through this service
project. Individual contributions can range from
a few pounds of ground meat or steaks to an
entire deer.
Last year, nearly 174,000 people benefited
from hunters’ generosity, but with 7 million
pounds of venison harvested across the state,
PRUA aims to expand the number of donations
this year.
Food banks say they never have enough meat
products to fill the need, so hunters with extra
venison or the desire to share their good fortune
can easily become involved in the “Hunters
Sharing the Harvest” They are encouraged to
contact their local game processor or butcher or
local or regional food bank and make arrange
ments to donate venison.
