Hunters Donate Meat for 714,000 Meals to the Hungry
Over 20.2 Million Servings Since 1997
The Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) venison donation ministry distributed 714,000 servings of nutritious meat to local food banks and ministries to help feed needy children, families and individuals over the past year.

​Donations included over 89 tons of deer, elk and livestock from generous hunters and farmers bringing the total number of meat servings donated, processed and distributed through the organization to 20.2 million since 1997.
 
“We are so thankful that the Lord has used this ministry to enable hunters and farmers to provide meat for over 20 million meals to their hungry neighbors,” said FHFH Executive Director Josh Wilson.  “And we are grateful for the local butcher shops, financial supporters and volunteers across the country who make this program possible.”
 
Financial support and grant funding from individuals, businesses, churches, other organizations and foundations enable FHFH to pay participating local butcher shops a discounted rate to process and package donated deer and livestock.  The meat is then distributed to local food banks, feeding programs and ministries at no cost to help feed the needy of their communities.
 
​Inspired by a passion for the outdoors and compassion for the needy, FHFH is committed to addressing the problem of hunger across America.  With volunteers and participating local butcher shops serving in over 20 states, FHFH enables hunters and farmers to provide protein-rich meat to local feeding programs and ministries in a unique and relevant way.
 
The organization welcomes new financial supporters and volunteers to join the cause.  Those interested in learning more can visit www.fhfh.org, call toll-free 866-438-3434, or email staff@fhfh.org for more information about the ministry.

Generous Youth Donates First Buck to Feed the Hungry!

Nick in Ohio recently shared this inspiring story with us. Last Thanksgiving Nick’s 11 year old son Kyler shot his first buck.  Shortly afterward that day Nick also shot a buck.  Nick said Kyler has such a giving heart that he decided to donate his deer to FHFH.  Nick felt compelled to donate his deer as well so they took both deer to one of our FHFH participating butcher shops - Sunset Meat Market in Piqua, Ohio.  When they donated their deer the butcher thanked them and congratulated Kyler on his first buck.

We sent Nick and Kyler several FHFH hats and an FHFH news magazine.  Kyler was surprised and said, “I want to donate all of my deer to them!”  Nick thought he was just excited by the hats, but was humbled to learn Kyler had been motivated by the stories in our news magazine.  According to Kyler, “We can feed a lot more families with our deer!”

THANK YOU SO MUCH Nick and Kyler for donating your bucks to help feed the people 
​in your community struggling with hunger.

Freedom from Hunger

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ...."  Matthew 25:35   ​

​Since 1997 FHFH has been fighting to provide freedom from hunger for people across the United States. Together we've helped hunters and farmers donate over 20 MILLION servings of meat for people in need. FHFH pays the meat processing costs for deer or livestock donated to FHFH's participating meat processors. The processed meat is packaged and distributed at no charge to food banks, food pantries and feeding ministries to help those who don't have enough food for their families.

In the United States, 1 in 8 people struggle with hunger. They are our family, friends, neighbors, coworkers and our children's classmates. 
People struggling with hunger do not have adequate financial resources to purchase enough food and also pay for rent, utilities and other basics.
 
Hunger among adults and their families can result from poverty that's caused by unemployment or because jobs do not pay enough to afford basic necessities. Even with assistance programs such as SNAP or WIC, some families are still unable to purchase a sufficient amount of food. Too many senior citizens, after a life time of hard work, find retirement incomes are not adequate and they are having to choose between food and medical care.
 
People who are struggling with hunger often rely on food banks, food pantries and feeding ministries for assistance. And these agencies typically identify protein as their most needed food donation item. FHFH helps fill that need! 
 
Thank you for your continued interest in our mission to free the people of our country from hunger. Together we can make a positive difference!

Sincerely,

He Hunts She Cooks

Serves 4

This is hands down my favorite shish kabob made my way, so I decided to name it after myself. lol For the best flavor, marinate the venison no less than 24 hours. I suggest you use a dry aged top butt or backstrap for the most tender cut and cook it no more than rare to medium-rare.

Prep Time:  24 hr 30 min
Cook Time:  3 min
Total Time: 24 hr 33 min

Ingredients
  • 3 lbs. Dry Aged Venison Top Butt or Backstrap (substitute elk, moose, antelope)
  • 2-8 oz. Packages Whole White Mushrooms
  • 2 Large White Onions
  • 4 Sweet Bell Peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
  • 1-1/4 cups Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbs. Minced Garlic
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1 tsp. Black Pepper

Instructions
  • Cut top butt or backstrap into 2 inch pieces and place in a large zip lock bag.
  • Add whole mushrooms to the bag.
  • Add the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, bay leaves and pepper, and seal closed.
  • Place the bag in a large bowl (in case the bag leaks), and refrigerate no less than 24 hours.
  • The next day, remove the meat/mushrooms from the fridge 1 hour before grilling.
  • Cut up the bell peppers, and onions into 2 inch pieces.
  • Soak wooden skewers (if using), in warm water for 30 minutes.
  • Skewer the meat, mushrooms, peppers and onions alternating between the meat and vegetables.
