 What a donation to be thankful for! Over 4,400 pounds of fresh venison was donated by the USDA Wildlife Services in November 2019 to Lehigh Valley FHFH (PA-08) and Everlasting LIFE Ministries, Inc. Everlasting Life Ministries filled more than six large freezers with this donation! This provides them with months worth of meat to hand out! This is a blessing to them and the families that they feed on a weekly basis. God provides!

 Shepherds Christian Assembly in Coshocton, Ohio appreciates the venison donated to their ministry by Coshocton County FHFH (OH-10). They served venison/sausage meatloaf at their community meal on Thanksgiving. They also serve a free lunch on Tuesdays, an evening meal after Bible study on Wednesday evenings, a meal after their Friday evening service, and lunch on Sunday after the morning service for those in attendance. Shepherds Christian Assembly serves about 19,000 meals a year! They have various organizations that donate food and supplies to the Lord's ministry. With the deer burger donated by FHFH they make chili, sloppy joes, tacos, meatloaf and anything else they can think of. They also give venison burger to people to take home and cook.

 "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 The Gift Christmas is usually a happy time, with a break from the day-to-day routine, meals with loved ones and gifts. Unfortunately, hunger doesn't stop just because it's Christmas. There are more than 40 MILLION men, women and children in our country who are food insecure - they are not getting enough to eat. For them, Christmas Day comes with a lot of stress and heartache instead of happiness. It's hard to celebrate when you don't know when your next meal will be and your stomach is empty and aching. No one should be hungry - especially at Christmas!  This December, you can give someone a gift that will bring great joy to their heart and make their Christmas brighter. How? When you donate to FHFH you are giving the gift of food to someone who is struggling with hunger. Our FHFH Chapter Coordinators, the food banks, food pantries and feeding ministries can tell you first hand about the joy getting a meal brings to to someone who is hungry. You will experience the blessed feeling of providing a very much appreciated gift to someone in need. It's a gift that will be a shining example of generosity and kindness. Your charitable financial gifts or donations of deer or livestock to FHFH can help a neighbor have a full plate and heart on Christmas Day!  Sincerely,

by Bobbie Jo Wasilko He Hunts She Cooks Do you think the shank meat is best suited for the grind pile because it's not good for anything else? Well, after a long slow braise, the tough, stringy, sinewy shanks are fork tender, and full of flavor. This dish is reminiscent of the Italian countryside when paired with creamy asiago polenta, and kale. Prep Time: 45 min Cook Time: 4 hr Total Time: 4 hr 45 min Serves 2 For the Venison Shanks
