The Gift of Kindness and Hope

This year has been hard for a lot of people. Everyone has been affected in some way by the COVID pandemic. Your family may be fortunate to celebrate Christmas this year with gifts and food for a holiday meal.
However, there are many families who are struggling to get by due to soaring unemployment or work hours being reduced. What will their Christmas be like this year? It’s not just “will they have toys for their children?” - it’s “will they have food to put on their plates?” No one should go hungry, especially at Christmas.


More than 50 million people may face hunger due to the impact by COVID. One in four children may not know where their next meal will come from. Christmas is the perfect time to remember the difference that sharing and giving back can make.

Food banks, food pantries and feeding ministries can make the difference between someone having a meal or going hungry. FHFH provides nutritious much-needed meat to these agencies at no cost. The need is great and we need your help.

Please consider donating to FHFH. Your gift will put food on the plate of someone who is hungry, a smile on their face and hope in their heart. They will know somebody cares about them. And you will experience the good feeling of knowing you’ve helped someone in need.

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!

Sincerely,

​The Community Foundation of Frederick County has awarded $1,000 in grant funding to the Frederick County, Maryland Chapter of Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry.  This funding will assist FHFH in providing approximately 2,100 servings of nutritious meat to the food banks and feeding programs that feed the needy of Frederick County.
 
On behalf of those in Frederick County who struggle with hunger, we thank The Community Foundation of Frederick County for its generosity and support of our mission to end hunger.

Thanking Our Veterans for Their Sacrifice and Service

11/5/2020

On Veterans Day we honor the heroic efforts of the men and women who served in the U.S. Military. Veterans Day provides us an opportunity to salute and thank the brave individuals who have served our country - past and present.
 
Veterans, like millions of other people in our country, experience the same challenges of affordable housing and low income. In 2019, 1,139,738 veterans had income below poverty level with 490,158 of them being 65 years of age or older. (Statista, Poverty Status of Veterans in the United States in 2019, by Age).
 
In 2018 there were 1.5 million veterans living in a household that completely relied on SNAP to supplement their food intake. (Military Families Learning Network, July 2019). However, SNAP benefits are not always enough to provide an adequate amount of food, so some veterans also reply on food banks, food pantries and feeding ministries to have enough food for themselves and their families.
 
And of the more than 40 million people Feeding America and their network of food banks serve each year, 20 percent of households include someone who has served or is currently serving in the U.S. military. (Feeding America, June 2018).
 
It is heartbreaking that so many veterans struggle to put food on their table! Our veterans fought and sacrificed for our country. Now we need to fight for them to make sure they don’t go hungry. One way to thank a veteran for their sacrifice and service is by helping them have enough food for themselves and their families. 
 
FHFH provides nutritious meat at no cost to food banks, food pantries and feeding ministries. 
With so many people struggling to make ends meet, especially during the COVID pandemic, your support has never been more important. Please consider donating to FHFH as we continue our fight to end hunger in our country. 
 
FHFH thanks the many men and women for their service to our country!
 
Thank you for your continued interest in our mission of feeding the hungry. 

Sincerely,
