Trey Hopkins, Chapter Coordinator for the Lowcountry FHFH chapter in South Carolina (SC-06), shared they are teaming up with their local QDMA chapter to conquer hunger in their area.  They are lucky to have the longest deer season in the nation and last year Lowcountry FHFH provided over 3,800 pounds of meat to local soup kitchens. They are
working hard to top that this year and funding is needed.  

The QDMA is hosting the "slicked slam" doe hunts which is a youth hunt where they promote donations to our cause. Thanks to QDMA's #slickheadslam2019 entries, they've donated $1,000 to Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry. While the QDMA functions on a national level, their organization is structured so your donations and membership can impact your local community! Sponsorship opportunities are already available for the August 6, 2020 10th Annual Lowcountry QDMA Banquet.  Please support the QDMA and FHFH as we work together to better the quality of deer and life in South Carolina!  

We give a big thank you to the Lowcountry chapter of QDMA for their generous donation to our Lowcountry FHFH chapter!

What Does It Take to Be a Super Hero?

"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

What Does It Take to Be a Super Hero?

You are probably familiar with the movie and cartoon super heroes who have super powers such as flying, incredible strength or running extremely fast and how they often use their super powers to help others. But you don't need to have super powers to be a super hero! ​You can use your own unique abilities and the things you have to be a super hero and help someone.

The number of people in our country who are hungry is heart breaking! Millions of people struggle with hunger every day! Some of your neighbors, friends, coworkers and maybe even family members could be having a hard time making ends meet and aren't able to buy enough food. They are not getting the adequate nutrition they need to learn, work and thrive. Being hungry hurts!  

FHFH provides the needed protein to food banks, food pantries and feeding ministries who serve people struggling with hunger and we rely on the support of selfless donors such as you to do that. 

​You can be a "super hero" who helps save someone from the pain of hunger! You can make the difference between them going hungry or having a meal! The need is great and we encourage you to take the first step to becoming someone's super hero by joining with FHFH as we work to end hunger!  

Thank you for your continued interest in our mission of feeding the hungry. Together we can make a positive difference!

Sincerely,



​

Canned Venison with Baby Bella Mushroom Venison Gravy
by Bobbie Jo Wasilko
He Hunts She Cooks

Serves 4

I was really short on time so I decided to forgo a lengthy recipe. And instead, I grabbed a jar of canned venison. Before adding the venison, I made a quick pan gravy with mushrooms, shallots, and canned venison stock. It was so yummy… and quick!! To make the pan gravy, I’m going to use the “singering” method. It’s what is used in Southern cooking. It’s so easy and no lumps!!!​

Ingredients
  • 1 quart jar Canned Venison
  • 8 ounce baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 Shallots, minced (substitute 1/2 onion)
  • 2 cups Venison Stock (substitute beef stock)
  • 3 Tbs. Butter
  • 3 Tbs. Grape Seed Oil (substitute canola oil)
  • 2 Tbs. Cornstarch
  • 1 Tbs. Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbs. Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp. Pepper

Instructions
  1. Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the shallot (or onion) and sauté 1 minute.
  3. Add the mushrooms and sauté 1 minute (don’t add salt yet).
  4. Add the garlic powder, and onion powder, pepper, and now add salt.
  5. Sauté another minute.
  6. Turn down heat to medium and sprinkle the cornstarch over the mushrooms, and stir to coat the mushrooms.
  7. Continue to stir while adding the stock.
  8. Bring the heat back to medium-high and stir while the gravy thickens.
  9. Add the canned venison, including liquid from the jar.
  10. Heat through and serve with sides of your choice.
