Empty Freezer Filled for the Hungry

Jan 24, 2022 |

FHFH donated meat to a church food bank and received this note of thanks from Pastor Dave Hays at Battlefield Bible Church near Sharpsburg, MD:

“We have a food bank and had lost some of our food donors and resources.  We had just run completely out of meat when Josh and his group came through for us in a way that was almost miraculous.  Now ALL of our church freezers are full of meat to feed the hungry.  What a blessing!”
​Pastor Dave Hays

We thank everyone who donated deer, made a financial gift or volunteered making it possible for us to feed people in need who are struggling with hunger.

Base camp Renews Their Support for the FHFH Mission

Dec 20, 2021 |

We give special thanks to three of our National Partners – The American Hunting Lease Association, Base Camp Country Real Estate and Base Camp Leasing – that have renewed their support for our hunger relief mission with a combined $10,000 contribution! These brands have faithfully supported FHFH since 2019 because our mission promotes the wise use and management of harvested animals to sustain resources for future generations, while feeding those in need and honoring the animals that are harvested.
Created in 2010, the American Hunting Lease Association is committed to serving the hunting lease industry, by reaching and educating landowners and hunters to the many benefits of a properly executed hunting lease. We believe the hunter/landowner relationship is the key to preserving quality hunting habitat and ensuring hunters can access that property safely. Offering free resources such as free lease agreement templates and educational tools for leasing as well as the most affordable and extensive hunting liability insurance policies on the market makes the AHLA your hunting lease resource.
Base Camp Country Real Estate​ is a hunting land, ranch, and farm listing agency that is backed by land market experience. With roots in the land market, specifically with marketing hunting leases for over 20 years, Base Camp Country has created a foothold in the hunting land, farm, and ranch land for sale market. The secret to success in listing land, ranches, and farms for sale is a dependably active buyer base. From over 20 years of marketing hunting leases in most of the United States, finding and listing land is second nature to Base Camp Country agents. This has created thousands of targeted buyers looking for land, and landowners ready and willing to sell. With our targeted buyer base, many listings, and dedicated agents, Base Camp Country is poised to be the number one hunting land, ranch, and farm land listing agency. ​
Base Camp Leasing was founded by Steve Meng, an accomplished whitetail deer hunter and former grain industry professional. Steve took his passion for hunting and turned it into a career. Personally experiencing discouragement in the lack of accessibility to private hunting property, Steve was motivated to develop a mutually beneficial business model to serve both landowners and hunters alike. Established in 1999, Base Camp Leasing has led the way in the hunting lease industry and continues to expand to new states every year.
FHFH is the only venison donation ministry actively setting up chapters across the nation and seeking to collaborate with other existing state and local venison donation programs. FHFH reaches an audience within both the hunting and non-hunting communities and provides the #1 most difficult item for food banks and feeding ministries to obtain – protein-based red-meat. Since 1997 FHFH has provided more than 21.5 million servings of meat for people in our country struggling with hunger.
