MD FHFH teams with other
FHFH Chapters to send meat to the Gulf Coast
Maryland FHFH
worked with FHFH chapters in several other states during November to
send over 1.5 tons of elk and deer meat to the gulf coast for
hurricane victims and relief workers. Over 1,200 pounds of venison was
picked up at Food Resources, Inc. in Hagerstown on Monday, November
14th. This meat was added to a tractor trailer load of food and other
supplies that originated at the Northern Arizona Food Bank. Food Bank
Director (and Northern Arizona FHFH Coordinator) Kerry Ketchum
organized the transportation with the help of Feed My People
Children’s Charity. In addition to Arizona and Maryland, FHFH programs
in Colorado, Kansas, Illinois and Ohio added meat to the truck for a
total of just over 3,000 pounds. The meat was delivered to a relief
operation in Biloxi, Mississippi run by International Spirit of Truth
Ministries. The group operates a 40-foot mobile kitchen and had served
over 230,000 meals to hurricane victims and relief workers as of
mid-November. This hurricane relief effort marks the first time that
multiple FHFH programs nationwide have worked together on a disaster
relief project.
