The Mid-Shore Community Foundation has generously awarded a $5,000 grant to Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH), supporting the organization’s mission to provide nutritious meat to food banks and feeding ministries serving those in need across the Mid-Shore region of Maryland.

Protein-rich foods, particularly meat, are among the most in-demand items at food banks. However, the expense for high quality meat often makes it difficult for food assistance programs to secure an adequate supply. With this funding, FHFH will continue its vital work of delivering essential nutrition to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.

“Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry exemplifies the power of community-driven efforts to support neighbors in need,” said Josh Wilson, Executive Director of FHFH. “We are incredibly grateful to the Mid-Shore Community Foundation for their generosity and commitment to our mission of fighting hunger in the region.”

Established in 1992, the Mid-Shore Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to enhancing the quality of life throughout the Mid-Shore Region of Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot Counties. The Foundation works with donors to establish funds for the region – funds that are distributed as grants and scholarships, provides training programs and endowment management services to area nonprofits, and supports start‐up charities and local charitable projects through fiscal sponsorship.

Guided by a passion for the outdoors and a deep commitment to alleviating hunger, FHFH has been making a difference since 1997. To date, the organization has provided more than 23.2 million servings of meat to food-insecure communities nationwide. To learn more about FHFH’s impact, visit FeedingtheHungry.org.
