The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has awarded a $2,500 grant to support the FHFH venison donation ministry.  This funding will help FHFH pay meat processing bills to transform donated deer into nutritious meat for people struggling with hunger in Bandera, Gillespie, Kendall and Kerr County.

“Protein is often one of the most challenging items for food banks to secure due to its cost and perishability,” said FHFH Executive Director Josh Wilson. “Thanks to the support of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, FHFH can bridge this gap and help ensure our neighbors in need have access to a balanced and healthy diet.”

The Community Foundation’s mission is to foster a thriving Hill Country, inspire greater giving, celebrate legacy and heritage, and steward charitable resources for today and tomorrow. The Community Foundation works with donors, makes grants to nonprofit organizations, and awards academic scholarships to students in 10 Central Texas counties.

About FHFH – People across America who struggle with food insecurity are often desperate for meat and protein items. FHFH gives nutritious meat to local food banks, food pantries and feeding ministries that help those in need by paying inspected and approved local butcher shops to process deer and livestock that are donated by farmers and hunters. Meat for over 23.7 million meals has been donated, processed and distributed nationally by FHFH since 1997.  FHFH welcomes new supporters and volunteers to join the cause.
