Providing Protein. Creating Opportunity. Strengthening Our Community.
Why We Built It
This was not one of our first plans for Valley View Village. But as local food pantries kept telling us that protein was their greatest and most consistent need, God brought the right people and resources alongside Ark to make it possible. Now the doors are opening, and this is only the beginning.
Ways Hunters Can Partner
From the very first season, your harvest can help feed a neighbor.
Donate a Deer
Donate a field-dressed deer to Ark. We process, package, and share the meat with families who need it most through trusted community partners.
Have Your Deer Processed
Bring your deer in for simple, reliable processing. For a processing fee you get quality local cuts, and every dollar goes back into Ark’s ministry.
Wild Hog Harvesting
During Phase One we can also harvest and process wild hogs. Reach out for current availability and options.
More Than a Processing Facility
The center meets an immediate need for food, and its impact reaches further. Families living at Valley View Village gain access to nutritious protein. Over time, residents can learn practical processing skills, build confidence, and explore future work. It becomes a place where food is provided, skills grow, volunteers serve side by side, and lives are strengthened.
Volunteer With Us
You do not need any experience to serve. Orientation, training, and ongoing support are provided. Whether you can help every week, now and then, or just during the busiest weeks of deer season, there is a place for you.
Looking Ahead
Phase One
Now
Donated deer, basic deer processing, and wild hog harvesting
Phase Two
Coming
Sausage, jerky, snack sticks, specialty cuts, and more packaged products, so we can serve more families and offer more training.
