The SWF’s Hunt 4 Hunger program offers hunters the opportunity to donate their extra meat.

“We sincerely thank the hunters who contribute to the program and our club volunteers who process the meat for their sense of community,” said SWF program coordinator Heather Graham-Nakaska in a press release.

“Caring for families in need in Saskatoon is a real pride for our club and we rely on volunteers to make this possible.”
