CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WBOY) — As the government shutdown continues, food banks across West Virginia and the country have faced extra pressure to feed those in need. Amid the shutdown, Gov. Morrisey recently announced that November would be wild game meat donation month in West Virginia.

One of the organizations that benefits from this initiative is the "Hunters Helping the Hungry" program, which collects donations of wild game meat and distributes them to food banks.

“Our hunters not only take great pride in putting food on their own tables, but also demonstrate remarkable generosity by donating their harvests to help other families in need,” Gov. Morrisey said. “Wild Game Meat Donation Month is a time to celebrate that tradition of giving and the difference it makes across our state.”
