Pinkston Middle School’s Outdoor Adventures program is partnering with the Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry Foundation and Mountain Home Bridges to help students in need as SNAP benefits face cuts.The program is asking hunters to donate harvested deer to support the initiative. Donated deer must be tagged, skinned, and quartered before being taken to the Meat Shop located at 1224 Commerce Drive in Mountain Home, where they will be processed and delivered to the school for distribution to families.
