Impact
Our Ministry
Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry began with a simple act of compassion. In 1997, founder Rick Wilson stopped to help a mother loading a deer she had found along the roadside into her car so she could feed her children. As he watched her drive away, Rick was reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:
“I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me.”
The Need
Protein is an essential part of a healthy diet, yet nutritious meat is increasingly expensive and out of reach for many struggling families across America. Without adequate nourishment, children and adults facing food insecurity are at greater risk of physical, emotional, and long-term health challenges.
Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable, as proper nutrition plays a critical role in growth, development, and fighting illness. Through FHFH, donated deer and livestock help provide nutritious meals to neighbors in need and bring hope to local communities.
The Numbers
Hunger affects more people than many realize. And it's not limited to the unemployed or homeless. Neighbors, coworkers, children, and seniors may all struggle to afford enough nutritious food while balancing the rising costs of housing, healthcare, transportation, and other daily necessities.
More than half of food bank recipients are employed, yet many still cannot provide enough food for themselves or their families. Today, 48 million Americans — including 1 in 5 children — faces hunger or food insecurity each day.
