Organizations in Wicomico County, MD Grateful for Venison Donations

1/21/2021

0 Comments

 
A COVID-19 emergency response grant was awarded to FHFH by the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore  for hunger relief in Maryland and assisted FHFH in providing nutritious meat to food banks, food pantries and feeding programs.  The grant funding provided 3, 720 servings of nutritious venison to people in need in Wicomico County!

We received thank you notes from two of the organizations in Wicomico County who received the much needed meat:
Chip Todd from FHFH has been very supportive to the Mardela community. With his help we have been able to supply deer meat to over 75 families. The donations have helped the families have food for a few weeks and ease the financial burden. We’re very grateful for all the support and kindness from FHFH. ~ Linda at the Mardela Middle/High School Food Pantry
We at the Blind of Delmarva cannot thank you enough for the donated deer meat we have distributed to our pantry members. Since COVID 19, there has been dwindling supplies of food, especially meat, for us to order from the Maryland Food Bank and the donation of deer has filled a very important void. The work you and the members of FHFH do each deer season is so important.
 
We service roughly 40 families, mostly disabled or elderly or working mothers with more than one job who cannot get to a food pantry. Since our small cadre of volunteers delivers, these are often forgotten people who would not otherwise have enough food without our help. We are deeply grateful for your donation so we can continue to service these people. We felt you would appreciate hearing about us.  Thank you so much.  ~ Joan Mitcheil, Administrator, Blind of Delmarva
On behalf of those who are struggling with hunger, we thank the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore for their generosity and support of our mission to end hunger!

2021 - A Year for an Abundance of Compassion, Kindess and Joyful Giving

Have you ever experienced a time of hardship and someone helped you? Do you remember how it made you feel? Were you grateful? Did it give you hope? Did you feel like you mattered knowing that someone cared about you?
 
When people are going through hardships and somebody gives them a hand it makes a positive difference in their life and outlook. Helping others not only aids the person in need, but it makes our communities better - now and in the future. And there can be a ripple effect from the act of kindness because one day the person who was helped may pay it forward by helping someone else in need because they know what it’s like to have someone care and help them.
 
Last year was hard for a lot of people. The heartache of loved ones passing away, the loss of a job or reduced hours that resulted in difficult decisions such as which bills to pay and struggling to put food on the table. The COVID pandemic is not over yet and we all are looking forward to better days ahead. When people remark what we need most in 2021 it’s often: the end of COVID, employment opportunities and financial recovery. We also need compassion, kindness and sharing.
 
With so many individuals and families turning to food banks, food pantries and feeding ministries for food, these organizations are in greater need than ever. FHFH provides meat to these organizations at no cost.
 
We can be there for our neighbors in need – both now and in the future – because we have amazing supporters and volunteers! Donations of deer, livestock or a financial gift make the difference between someone going hungry or having a meal. Please join with FHFH today and be a beacon of hope to your struggling neighbors. 
 
On behalf of FHFH and the people who are struggling with hunger, we thank you for your generous support as we work together to end hunger in our country. May 2021 be filled with an abundance of compassion, kindness and joyful giving!
 
Sincerely,

Southwest Ohio FHFH Donates 400 pounds of venison

1/7/2021

0 Comments

 
Tim Fisher, Co-coordinator for Southwest Ohio FHFH, recently harvested a nice buck. He donated it to FHFH at Davidson Meat Processing and asked for the meat to go to the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Community Support Center - an agency that had sent him a very moving summary of their mission with a request to join FHFH this season.

Tim received this note of thanks from Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Community Support Center:
We picked up from Davidson's yesterday. They gave us 400 lbs. of venison, including Tim's. We were blown away! We've been distributing it to clients all day today! We posted about it on Facebook yesterday and are going to include it in our newsletter this week. Thank you both so much for coordinating this for us! We didn't have to pick up any Kroger meat today, which was wonderful. Thank you again!

"Helping the Hungry" - The Gift of a Good meal

1/7/2021

0 Comments

 
In WBOC’s Outdoors Delmarva video about helping the hungry, Mid Shore FHFH Coordinator Amy Cawley talks about how FHFH enables hunters to donate much needed meat to food banks and feeding ministries in Maryland.  The year 2020 has been a year like no other for the Maryland Food Bank Eastern Shore. The Maryland Food Bank is seeing nearly double the food distribution across Maryland. ​
Mid Shore FHFH donated nearly 400 pounds of venison to the food bank.  One deer provides 160-200 servings of nutritious meat.  Funding is needed to pay the processing fees for deer donated to FHFH’s participating butchers.  Please help your neighbors in need by donating deer and making a financial gift to FHFH.
