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.

The effort provides an opportunity for students to receive much-needed protein while fostering community involvement and awareness of outdoor skills. In addition to the donation drive, the Outdoor Adventures program took six students on a mentored deer hunt on Saturday, offering hands-on experience in hunting safety, conservation, and outdoor skills.
