Nonprofit group to help process nilgai

HARLINGEN — As nonprofits go, Trinity Oaks couldn’t be more Texan.

The San Antonio-based charitable organization teaches underprivileged kids gun safety and takes them shooting and hunting.

It also has a 30,000-square-foot meat processing operation that cuts and packages donated wild game for distribution to the poor in South Texas and Mexico.

Trinity Oaks will process the nilgai culled by sharpshooters in helicopters at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge sometime next month.

Tom Snyder and his wife founded Trinity Oaks in 1996.
