I like Stovetop Stuffing but haven't tried it with dish soap yet.
Did I make a mistake ?

You would think that with a mostly rural populations, some one would have known how. You have to try really hard to find more rural than here. You have to travel over 100 miles to find anywhere bigger than our town of 6000 people.
remember... wet pick a chicken, dry pick a turkey...
Chickens are no different than pheasants and deer are just like giant rabbits. I was cleaning the rabbits and pheasants from my cousins and uncles hunts since I was 10 or so. Ironically, I kept that job for most of my young life. I taught all my friends how to clean them as well as ducks geese and squirrels.
OP I would not second guess giving. We have the central Ohio foodbank here locally. We used to volunteer, and they had us separating organizing and cleaning the donations. It seemed that nothing went to waste, so give what your heart desires someone will use it.

For guys who hunt, don't forget a lot of states have food bank programs that accept game like whitetail deer. I know a couple guys who hunt, but don't like venison. They donate it.

I'm sure all donations to food pantries are useful and appreciated. Next time you donate ask what they need most. Problem solved. Don't beat yourself up for doing a good thing.
In my early days as a traveling troubadour I was no stranger to hot dog helper.

Every now and then, I take a case of bananas to the local shelter.
Portable, sanitary, and bad teeth, are not a problem.

During the Depression of the 1930's things were tough with 25% unemployment. I thought beans were dessert.
I put money into deferred savings.....
...most of my working life. With the taxes they stick you with, inflation and shrinkflation, items like insurance (of all kinds) and medical care that go up by leaps and bounds way beyond inflation rates, what good is all that going to do us in 10 years?
I'm going to tell my wife not to stock up on hamburger helper because we'll just have to eat the helper without the hamburger.

Growing up in the country inthe 50s I learned how to butcher hogs chickens rabbits skwerls turtles fish etc. I cut up meat in my parents mom & pop grocery store starting at age 10 my mother didn't let me use the meat slicer. till I was 12... I learned trapping skinning of fur critters too. . Couldn't afford traps so made my own snooges(snares). I even sold wood duck hides and squirrel tails(to Herter's and others). Being poor is the mother of necessity

Larry...Truth.
After retirement, we moved to Florida about 4 years ago from Tennessee. I had a couple of friends there that religiously hunted whitetail deer but didn't eat it themselves...I would pre-order what I wanted from them, (small doe usually). They would drop it off at a local slaughterhouse with a note how to prepare it tied to the deer's ear. The wife and I would then pick the individually packed vacuum sealed processed deer up and pay the slaughterhouse a $65 fee.
We didn't eat beef for fifteen years. We ate venison for so long, that after moving here, beef tasted funny to us. I miss that.
There is just not as many deer here as there was in Tennessee. They are smaller and I don't have any friends here that hunt.

You did fine - they can be creative.
Funny you mention the squirrel tails, Mepps had a program where they would send you x number of spinner baits for x number of tails. I was a fox squirrel shooting machine, and my uncle would freeze them then send them in for me at the end of the season. I usually got 2 spinners a year that way. It was always exciting when he would say a package came for me and there were 2 brand new Rooster Tails in it. Good memories !
As a kid we deer hunted. My mom hated the smell of venison and wouldn't cooking it so my dad would take our dressed deer to a local Boys Ranch, as they called it back in the day.

When I was a trooper, I knew more than a few hard up families that were glad to accept a fresh, not badly damaged road kill whitetail.

Got as much as 10 cents for squirrel tails. Herter's paid me 3.50-4.00 for wood duck hides...used for fishing flies I think. I sold them just shy of 80 one season. Tween 2 friends and I. I had two ponds in the woods on my place. Acorns and beechnuts
My wife is what I refer to as a "creative" cook, often resulting in things that are truly interesting. Once she was in a rush for a meeting and told me that dinner was in the oven. My son was around three or four, we got set for dinner I opened the oven and took out a pot. I opened it up and there was a pack of hotdogs neatly cut up floating in a red sauce with noodles, she had made Hamburger Helper with hot dogs...For Christ's Sake, theres nothing to soak up the juice. My son and I decided it was inedible and went out for Grand Slam Breakfast at Denny's.
