Nine hundred pounds of deer meat was split between two local food pantries. Hillsdale Cares in Ashland County received half and Lucas Area food pantry in Richland County received the other half.
A big thank you to Darrell Christine, the hunters who donated their harvest and to Pinhook Meats LLC for all the hard work they put into processing the meat.

Last year, the North Central Indiana FHFH chapter donated the processed meat from six deer to Bona Vista to distribute to those who live in their group homes and supported living homes. This year, North Central Indiana FHFH donated meat from eight deer! An article about the impact of meat donations from FHFH to Bona Vista Programs, Inc. was featured in the Kokomoperspective.com on January 2, 2019. The article stated, “Do you know what kind of impact that has on the budget? That doesn’t even take into account the warm and fuzzy impact it leaves on the hearts of those receiving it when they know that someone did that just for them. It’s priceless.“ “We are so thankful! It is people like Walker, his friend, Doug Martin and others involved with the organization who make a difference in the communities where they live.” CLICK HERE to read the full article.

By Bobbie Jo Wasilko He Hunts She Cooks Serves 6 A hearty stew for hearty appetites and cold weather! I have everything in this stew but the kitchen sink. A dollop of horseradish cream and hot homemade bread makes this dish complete. Ingredients:
Instructions: 1.Cut shoulder meat into 1 inch pieces, season with salt and pepper and sit aside while prepping other ingredients 2.Heat a large soup pot with a few tablespoons of oil and heat on medium-high 3.Add the pieces of meat, a few at a time to the pot and brown (don't over crowd the meat) 4.Remove the browned pieces to a bowl 5.Continue adding the meat, a few at a time until the pieces are browned 6.Add a bit more oil if needed and add the onion, carrot, celery, and leeks, and minced garlic and sauté for 5 minutes 7.Add the meat back to the pot with the vegetables 8.Add the tomato paste, anchovy paste, garlic powder, onion powder, Kosher salt, pepper, thyme leaves, bay leaves, crushed tomatoes (with juice), venison (or beef) stock, and red wine 9.Bring the pot to a boil, then turn down to low heat 10.Partially cover the pot with a lid and keep on a very low simmer for about 2-3 hours 11.Once the meat is becoming tender, add the pearl barley and simmer another 1-2 hours, stirring on occasion so the barley doesn't lump up or stick to the bottom of the pot 12.Turn the heat to medium-high and add the potatoes, corn, peas, and kale and cook until potatoes are fork tender 13.Mix a few tablespoons prepared horseradish with 3 tbs. cream and top with soup if desired Notes: This stew can be canned in a pressure canner for longer shelf life... although it tastes so good, it will be a challenge to keep on a shelf!!  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 Can You Guess What Some Children Are Hoping for This Christmas? Do you remember as a child, or maybe your own child, circling a toy that was wanted for Christmas in a sales flyer? Imagine two little girls looking through a Christmas sales flyer that was delivered in the mail. Their eyes sparkle as they circle items in the sales flyer that they want for Christmas. But they aren't circling toys for Christmas - they are circling food for their family! More than 12 million children in our country are going hungry. They aren't wishing for toys, they are wishing for food for their empty stomachs! No one should be hungry, especially at Christmas. Please remember those who are facing hunger this Christmas. Won't you please give a financial gift to FHFH today? Any amount you can give will make a big difference to those in need! Picture the joy on the faces of children, women and men as they sit down to eat a meal Christmas Day - all because you cared and shared your blessings! What a wonderful feeling knowing you made that possible! On behalf of FHFH and all those in our country suffering from hunger, we THANK YOU for your generous support!  Sincerely,

But not everyone will have food to be thankful for or wonderful memories of Thanksgiving Day. In America, 1 in 8 people are facing hunger! They are of all ages from childhood to the senior years.
