You can view this great interview here. We thank the NDA for featuring FHFH's mission of feeding the hungry. ![]() The mission of the National Deer Alliance (NDA) is to serve as the guardian of wild deer conservation (white-tailed deer, mule deer, black-tailed deer, coues deer, and Key deer), and our hunting heritage. Formally incorporated in May 2015, the NDA is driven to assemble and unite a diverse group of stakeholders that includes hunters, managers, and the hunting industry to help create positive outcomes for deer and deer hunting. ![]() Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) has been connecting hunters who want to donate deer to those in need since 1997. FHFH has provided over 20.2 million servings of venison since its inception. In 2018-2019 FHFH provided 178,668 pounds of meat that produced 714,672 servings.

Created in 2010, the American Hunting Lease Association is committed to serving the hunting lease industry, by reaching and educating landowners and hunters to the many benefits of a properly executed hunting lease. We believe the hunter/landowner relationship is the key to preserving quality hunting habitat and ensuring hunters can access that property safely. Offering free resources such as free lease agreement templates and educational tools for leasing as well as the most affordable and extensive hunting liability insurance policies on the market makes the AHLA your hunting lease resource. Base Camp Country Real Estate is a hunting land, ranch, and farm listing agency that is backed by land market experience. With roots in the land market, specifically with marketing hunting leases for over 20 years, Base Camp Country has created a foothold in the hunting land, farm, and ranch land for sale market. The secret to success in listing land, ranches, and farms for sale is a dependably active buyer base. From over 20 years of marketing hunting leases in most of the United States, finding and listing land is second nature to Base Camp Country agents. This has created thousands of targeted buyers looking for land, and landowners ready and willing to sell. With our targeted buyer base, many listings, and dedicated agents, Base Camp Country is poised to be the number one hunting land, ranch, and farm land listing agency. Base Camp Leasing was founded by Steve Meng, an accomplished whitetail deer hunter and former grain industry professional. Steve took his passion for hunting and turned it into a career. Personally experiencing discouragement in the lack of accessibility to private hunting property, Steve was motivated to develop a mutually beneficial business model to serve both landowners and hunters alike. Established in 1999, Base Camp Leasing has led the way in the hunting lease industry and continues to expand to new states every year. FHFH is the only venison donation ministry actively setting up chapters across the nation and seeking to collaborate with other existing state and local venison donation programs. FHFH reaches an audience within both the hunting and non-hunting communities and provides the #1 most difficult item for food banks and feeding ministries to obtain – protein-based red-meat. Since 1997 FHFH has provided more than 20.2 million servings of meat for people in our country struggling with hunger.
![]() We received this letter from Hebron Country Food Pantry in Indiana thanking FHFH for helping with the meat processing cost for a steer they purchased. Dear Friends at FHFH, Thank you so very much for the $350 donated to assist in the processing of the steer we purchased at the Porter Country Fair. We ground the steer into hamburger to be distributed to clients of Hebron Country Food Pantry. Our clients are very grateful for this wonderful meat. We appreciate your assistance with the processing fees. Hebron is a small town of around 3,000 residents. There are two low income housing units and two mobile home parks within our zip code. Statics show that 17.3% of residents of Hebron live at the poverty level. 36.6% of the children under 6 and 35.6% of the children 6 to 11 years old live at the poverty level. In May of 2013 Hebron Country Pantry had 55 household assists. Now we are assisting an average of 160 households each month. So you can see the need is growing in our community. We are very blessed to have the support of the community groups, individuals, churches, the school and organizations such as yours. We are also a USDA client choice pantry and receive products through the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana. We are also blessed with over fifty volunteers from the community. Thank you for your assistance with the processing of the steer and for all your organization does to help fight hunger! |
