Hunters & Farmers Provide 110 Tons of Meat – Reaching 17.8 Million Servings
Hagerstown, MD — The Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) ministry distributed over 110 tons of nutritious meat to the hungry this past year – enough to provide over 880,000 servings to hungry men, women and children across America. Since 1997 FHFH has coordinated and paid for the donation, processing and distribution of an astounding 17.8 million meals.
“There are people struggling with hunger in every single county across this nation,” said FHFH Executive Director Josh Wilson. “As hunters we’re so blessed and we have so much to give. It’s a privilege to help people tackle the hunger problem by donating some of their harvest to feed their neighbors.”
Inspired by a passion for the outdoors and compassion for the needy, FHFH is committed to addressing the problem of hunger in America. With volunteers serving in 29 states, FHFH supports local feeding programs in a unique and relevant way.
The organization welcomes new supporters and volunteers to join the cause. Those interested in learning more can visit www.fhfh.org, call toll-free 1-866-438-3434, or email staff@fhfh.org for more information about the ministry.

What Does it Mean to “Join”?
You’ve probably been invited to join lots of things – clubs, bowling leagues, churches, parent-teacher organizations, discount stores, loyalty programs and many more! Sometimes you’ve said yes and other times no. The word “join” appears in a variety of ads and marketing materials. We even use it when inviting people to become part of our mission to feed the hungry.
There are two main reasons we consider joining something. The first is to get something in return. Memberships can often include special privileges, discounts or gift items. The second is to support something we believe in. This could include a cause or an organization that we support with our time or money.
We invite you to join in supporting our mission of helping hunters and farmers donate meat to hungry men, women and children. Your contribution helps us continue the important work of recruiting and training volunteers in communities nationwide. With your help we supply the resources, materials and staff services they need to carry out this ministry to the hungry.
Since 1997 we’ve provided over 17.8 million servings of nutritious meat to the needy of America. With your help we can feed millions more.
So please…join the cause with a donation today!

Every County, Everywhere
Hunger can often be invisible. But the fact is,
there are people in every single county across our nation struggling with hunger. And according to a recent article at CNBC, those in rural areas are also being hit by a combination of high unemployment rates coupled with higher than average grocery prices.Unfortunately many of us don’t realize how widespread the problem is – even when it’s right under our nose.
A friend who is a local school administrator was in the lunch room monitoring the students one day. He noticed a youngster eating “like a pig” making a mess of himself, the plate, and the table. He sent the boy to the office and promised to follow up at the end of the lunch shift. After lunch he met with the boy and asked why he was making such a mess. The reply? “I was hungry.” Our friend told the boy he was hungry too. After all, he had to watch several groups of students eat their lunches every day before he could sit down to eat his own. He gave the boy one chance to come up with a better reason before facing discipline. “Well sir…last night wasn’t my turn to eat.”
Wow – I don’t think he saw that coming!
It’s good to be reminded about the size and scope of the problem we face. It’s also good to know that we can make a difference. FHFH offers a number of opportunities for you to become involved in the battle against hunger…
Please help us in the fight to end hunger today!
Another Great Recipe from “He Hunts She cooks”!
By Bobbie Jo Wasilko
He Hunts She Cooks
Cookin’ Wild
These meatballs can be frozen in batches and added to a variety of sauces, soups, and stews or serve all of them for a block party! Baking them in the oven on foil lined sheets makes quick cleanup, and large batches can be cooked at the same time, and the meatballs don’t fall apart.
Makes: 2 pounds = approx.45 mini meatballs
BASE MEATBALL RECIPE:
- 2 lb. Ground Venison (or any wild game), keep the ground venison cold!
- 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup crushed Corn Flakes (adjust based on how the mixture is looking, add if more binder is needed to shape meatballs, otherwise, stick to 1/2 cup)
- 1/4 cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs (or plain + 2 tablespoons dried parsley and 1 tablespoon dried oregano)
- 1 tbs. Garlic Powder
- 1 tbs. Onion Powder
- 1/3 cup finely minced White or Yellow Onion
- 4 tbs. Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tsp. Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp. Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
1. Lightly beat the eggs.
2. Crush corn flakes to medium ground in a sealed zip lock bag
3. Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix.
4. Using a small ice cream scoop, portion out about 48 meatballs, then roll in between palms to shape.
5. Line a baking sheets with foil and add meatballs.
6. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack and bake in the oven for 7 minutes then gently roll meatballs over with a fork and bake for an additional 7 minutes.
7. Remove and leave on the baking sheets to cool COMPLETELY.
*Freeze in batches in zip lock bags with as much air removed as possible or vacuum bags and use directly from the freezer and place in sauces, soups or stews.
SAUCE: CHILI-CRANBERRY SAUCE:
**About 48 Pre-Cooked Frozen Meatballs
- 1 can Whole Cranberry Sauce (14 ounce)
- 1 bottle Chili Sauce
- 1/3 cup Dried Onion Flakes
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Ketchup
- A splash of Worcestershire Sauce
Preheat the oven to 350ºF
For Oven Baked:
- Add all the sauce ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Pour the sauce into a 9×13 glass baking dish.
- Add the frozen or fresh meatballs.
- Bake, covered for 35 minutes, then remove the covering and bake another 10 minutes.
- Serve with steamed rice.
For the Crockpot:
- Add all the ingredients and stir.
- Add the meatballs.
- Cover and cook on lowest setting for about 90 minutes.
Serve with steamed rice and sautéed green beans or as a pot luck for a large cocktail party.
**When hubby wants to go hunting, I mix all the ingredients, including the frozen meatballs and pour it into a foil pan, and place raw green beans on top. I seal it with aluminum foil. When Hubby comes back to camp at the end of the hunting day, he places the pan in the Camp Chef oven at 300º and allows it to bake while he gets himself cleaned up. Forty-five minutes later, he serves them with 3 cups minute rice… his hunting buddies love it and there is little clean-up and cooking for him to do.
