Boone Brothers

Mentions

Boone Brothers is a nonprofit that converts donated deer meat into shelf-stable protein sticks distributed to hungry kids through school backpack programs. Terry said it navigated USDA hurdles to add a beef version alongside venison, letting it scale to feed more children year-round. Hunters could take harvested deer free of charge to a processor, who was paid instead. Founder John Wise started it as a Bible study named after Daniel Boone, which grew into a ministry after Fish and Wildlife proposed working together on child food insecurity.
