Giving and sharing are always in season! In November we celebrate National Wild Game Meat Donation Month – a campaign encouraging all hunters to donate extra venison and other game meat to help provide meals for those in need.

Now is the perfect time for hunters to do their part by donating to organizations that distribute nutritious game meat to the less fortunate./p>

National Wild Game Meat Donation Month is an awareness campaign developed by the National Rifle Association of America in support of hunters for the hungry programs across America.

Trey Hopkins, Lowcountry FHFH coordinator in South Carolina recently visited Meals on Wheels of Summerville and shared his humbling experience:

It is always amazing to visit groups who help feed the community with the venison that is donated by local hunters with the help of Cordray’s Processing and our local FHFH program Lowcountry FHFH (SC-06). I had the privilege of meeting some awesome people who work with Meals on Wheels of Summerville which has been feeding the Lowcountry since 1982.

Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday they distribute roughly 250 meals and I look forward to a continuing partnership with Meals on Wheels of Summerville and good things to come with some shared fundraising events!

Like our local chapter of FHFH they rely entirely on private funding and help from the community to keep the meals rolling out on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The meals are all prepared by Chef Ryan who left the upscale restaurant world to follow a calling to simply feed the people who might not eat otherwise. A humbling part of my visit was when I heard they are much more than a food delivery service and that they spend time at the client’s home to interact with some who are truly lonely.

We extend our gratitude to H-E-B for their support of our mission! H-E-B awarded a $500 grant to Texas Hill Country FHFH enabling FHFH to provide nutritious meat to food banks and feeding ministries in communities served by Texas Hill Country FHFH.

H-E-B’s Hunger Relief Program works year-round to fight hunger in Texas and Mexico. Hunger relief has been a key focus for H-E-B since the first store opened in 1905. For more than a century now, H-E-B’s commitment and involvement in the communities it serves has been an important part of the way the company does business.

We extend our sincere thanks to H-E-B for their compassionate and generous commitment to our mission of feeding the hungry. Together, we are casting a vision of a brighter, hunger-free future!
