FHFH Volunteers With Feeding Medina County

Feeding Medina County’s mission is to educate, engage, and lead their community in creating an environment where no one goes hungry.

FHFH Board Member Helps Provide Fish for the Hungry
John Davidson, FHFH Board President
Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry board president John Davidson is employed as a Research Scientist for the Freshwater Institute in Shepherdstown, WV, which is part of an organization called The Conservation Fund. Recently the Freshwater Institute and Mountaineer Food Bank worked together to provide more than 4,000 meals of locally raised salmon filets to the food bank’s network of food pantries and programs that help West Virginians in need.
In West Virginia, 250,600 people are struggling with hunger and of them 73,770 are children. Mountaineer Food Bank in Gassaway, WV provides food and other household items to their emergency food network in 48 counties including programs such as food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, backpack programs, senior programs and mobile pantries.
John has worked for the Freshwater Institute for more than 20 years, publishing numerous research and industry articles focused on fish production in recirculating aquaculture systems. The Conservation Fund, working with public, private and nonprofit partners, protects America’s legacy of land and water resources through land acquisition, sustainable community and economic development, and leadership training, emphasizing the integration of economic and environmental goals.

Ohio Food Pantry Blessed With Venison
Wayne County FHFH (OH-28) recently donated 120 pounds of much needed meat to help people in need in Medina County Ohio!
We received this thank you note from Feeding Medina County in response to the donation of the venison.
“Thank you so much for connecting me with Tom Norman in Wooster. I was able to pick up 120 pounds of venison two weeks ago that we gave right back out to the families that attended our food distribution in Medina last week.
Feeding Medina County feeds over 3,000 people each month and we are so blessed to have connected with FHFH.
Thank you for all that you do, for including us, and for finding a way for our earth’s natural resources to get to those most in need.”
God bless,
Katy Fuerst, Executive Director
