LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Time is running out for meat processors to apply for participation in this year’s Hunters Helping the Hungry program.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says processors have until July 20 to apply. The program allows hunters to donate the deer they kill to Nebraska residents in need. The processors accept the meat and turn it into ground venison before it’s donated.

The application form and program guidelines are available at http://OutdoorNebraska.gov/HHH. The Commission will contact eligible applicants by Aug. 8.
