LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) - Massingill's Meat Market in Lufkin processes unused deer meat for the Hunters for the Hungry program, which donates the meat to feed the community.

Chris Ward, who owns the market with his wife, Lendy, said the East Texas Food Bank approached him about partnering with the program six years ago.

Processing the donationsWard said some hunters bring deer to the market because they do not want the meat."We'll process it, grind it, make it all into hamburger. And we package it in special packages for the Hunters for the Hungry. And the East Texas Food Bank comes, picks it up. And then they distribute it," Ward said.
