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.

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!

​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…
