ina County, Ohio

Wayne County FHFH (OH-28) recently donated 120 pounds of much needed meat to help people in need ​in Medina County Ohio!
​

​We received this thank you note from Feeding Medina County in response to the donation of the venison.

“Thank you so much for connecting me with Tom Norman in Wooster.  I was able to pick up 120 pounds of venison two weeks ago that we gave right back out to the families that attended our food distribution in Medina last week. 

​Feeding Medina County feeds over 3,000 people each month and we are so blessed to have connected with FHFH.
 
Thank you for all that you do, for including us, and for finding a way for our earth’s natural resources to get to those most in need.”

 
God bless,
Katy Fuerst, Executive Director
Feeding Medina County

The Caring Place, Indiana

FHFH recently had the privilege to pay the meat processing costs for a steer donated to The Caring Place in Indiana. 


The Caring Place, Inc. provides inclusive service, shelter, and ongoing support for people experiencing domestic violence.  Through advocacy, education, and awareness, they empower people to build supportive, respectful, compassionate relationships. Their organization primarily serves victims in Lake, Porter and Starke counties in Northwest Indiana, but may include victims across the country. 

​We received a note of appreciation from them for the donation of the meat processing cost for the steer:

Roy Wilson of the Porter County Buyer's Group recently donated and delivered 
one 941 pound steer to The Caring Place in Valparaiso, IN. Roy passed along that Farmers and Hunters Feeding The Hungry donated the processing of the meat and we wanted to let you know how grateful we are. We've also publicly expressed our gratitude to all who made this possible on our Facebook page! 

You will be receiving an official acknowledgement letter from our CEO in the mail, but we also wanted to personally contact you to let you know how meaningful this gift is to our shelter and the clients we serve. Thank you for working with Roy to make this happen. And thank you for all that your organization does to help organizations like ours and people in need. 


With warm regards and gratitude, 
Amy Blythe and The Caring Place

The Frederick Community Action Agency would like to express our deepest gratitude to Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry for their support every year!  Without your support, many of the families facing food insecurity in Frederick County would not have meat for their meals they prepare for their families.  Also, deer meat provides the essential protein that we need and is so much healthier than processed meat. 

Again, thank you very much for your continued support and we look forward to future donations from Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry! ~ Michele Ott, Frederick Community Action Agency

School Food Bank, Wicomico County, MD

FHFH distributes meat to children and families struggling with hunger in Wicomico County, Maryland through a partnership with a local school food bank. We received the following letter from a parent whose family benefitted from the meat provided by hunters this past season...

I want to thank you for helping our family with food provisions including deer meat.  Being single and helping my sister raise her 6 children can be quite challenging.  From a nutritional perspective, the deer meat provided protein without fat and added chemicals that donated processed meat contains.  The deer meat provides the same flexibility in different meals that beef provides, only it is much healthier.  Our family enjoyed the meat especially when we used it in chili.  Each pack of meat fed 8 people with some left over to partially feed lunch meal the next day.

​I also helped deliver food boxes that contained the deer meat to other homes in our school community.  Many of these families had no transportation to come to the school to pick up the meals.  A memory I will never forget was when we were knocking on a trailer door.  It seemed no one would answer so we left it on the steps.  It was cold and we weren’t worried about it spoiling.  As we were stepping away, a little girl about 11 or 12 opened the door, saw the boxes and shouted excitedly into the trailer, “We’ve got food!”
 
Supporting the people who provide the deer meat is a much needed essential in our community.  The deer is plentiful, and hunters who reach their limit often donate the deer knowing it can be used in local food banks.  But there are no processing plants to turn the deer into food for the table.  Nor would we want that as it would remove the clean natural healthy chemical free protein that deer meat provides.  The flexibility of meals with the meat makes it a choice meat.
We also received three wonderful thank you notes from students whose families received deer meat through the program...

​These messages are a blessing and a testament to the good work being accomplished by the volunteers, hunters, financial donors, and participating meat processors in Wicomico County, Maryland. This is just one example of the impact our ministry is having in many local communities!

The Jericho House, Georgia 

Joe Schuster, FHFH coordinator for North Georgia Foothills, shared this about the importance of the donating venison to organizations such as The Jericho House:
 
The Jericho House is a Christ-centered drug and alcohol recovery program located in the beautiful Sautee Nacoochee valley in the mountains of North Georgia. It ministers healing and restoration to men caught in addiction using biblical counseling, teaching, small groups and work programs.
 
In January of 2020, my participating meat processor Chuck Cotzer, asked if we could direct our meat donation to someone he knew with an admirable program - Larry McKenna of Jericho House. I contacted Larry to offer some meat and he immediately replied with a hearty 'yes and thank you!' I checked in with Larry recently to learn more about how he and Chuck had gotten to know each other...
 
"Joe, a few years back I met my friend and someone that I call my brother, Chuck, as we shared a mutual love for motorcycles. From there we learned that we had common interest in hunting and harvesting deer. I have hunted north Georgia and have brought all my deer to be processed through his processing,' said Larry. 'I also got to know that Chuck has a big heart for those in need and now we have been blessed to receive a bounty of deer meat thanks to you and Chuck. The food aids us in our budget for feeding 25 men in our recovery program and we are truly thankful!"
 
This past year, Joe and our North Georgia Foothills chapter donated over 500 pounds of venison to assist with the food budget of Jericho House! To learn more about The Jericho House, visit them online at www.thejerichohouse.org.

Bloomfield Food Pantry, Indiana

​Thank you so much for remembering our food pantry with the donation of ground venison from FHFH.  We were almost out when you called and offered the meat to us.  Just about everybody that comes to the pantry wants a pound or two of venison each visit.
 
You have blessed so many families through the FHFH organization giving the meat.  This year has been a rough one for many families, but FHFH supplied meat that was much needed.  Again, thank you and God bless you and the members of Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry.  ~ The members of the Bloomfield Food Pantry

 Tri-county Family Ministries, South Carolina

Every week we are able to give out fresh produce and frozen meat to our clients thanks to contributions from groups like Lowcountry FHFH SC-06 - Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry donating their hard won game!  Just last Wednesday we had 3,000 pounds of venison to distribute to our neighbors in need thanks to the hard work of these local hunters!

Mardela Middle and High School Food Pantry, Maryland

Chip Todd from FHFH has been very supportive to the Mardela community. With his help we have been able to supply deer meat to over 75 families. The donations have helped the families have food for a few weeks and ease the financial burden. We’re very grateful for all the support and kindness from FHFH. ~ Linda at the Mardela Middle/High School Food Pantry

The Blind of Delmarva, Maryland

We at the Blind of Delmarva cannot thank you enough for the donated deer meat we have distributed to our pantry members. Since COVID 19, there has been dwindling supplies of food, especially meat, for us to order from the Maryland Food Bank and the donation of deer has filled a very important void. The work you and the members of FHFH do each deer season is so important.
 
We service roughly 40 families, mostly disabled or elderly or working mothers with more than one job who cannot get to a food pantry. Since our small cadre of volunteers delivers, these are often forgotten people who would not otherwise have enough food without our help. We are deeply grateful for your donation so we can continue to service these people. We felt you would appreciate hearing about us.  Thank you so much.  ~ Joan Mitcheil, Administrator

Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Community Support Center, Ohio

We picked up from Davidson Meat Processing yesterday. They gave us 400 lbs. of venison, including Tim Fisher's. We were blown away! We've been distributing it to clients all day today! We posted about it on Facebook yesterday and are going to include it in our newsletter this week. Thank you both so much for coordinating this for us! We didn't have to pick up any Kroger meat today, which was wonderful. Thank you again! ~ Kelsey Hurlburt, ​Executive Director

Parkland Cares Food Pantry, Pennsylvania

Thanks to Lehigh Valley FHFH (PA-08) the freezer at Parkland Cares Food Pantry in Pennsylvania is always stocked with meat.  Lehigh Valley FHFH has supplied Parkland Cares Food Pantry with beef and venison since before they even opened their doors and continues to be a source of nutritious meat for the families they serve. Matt Coblentz is the Chapter Coordinator for Lehigh Valley FHFH.  Parkland Cares Food Pantry thanks Matt and Lehigh Valley FHFH for our continued support!

Bloom Home for Girls, Massachusetts

FHFH donated COVID-19 relief funds to the 
Bloom Home for Girls in Massachusetts. They used the money to purchase meat for their freezer this fall and winter. The first batch of meat purchased included beef, chicken and pork. Bloom is a ministry of Teen Challenge. We received this note of appreciation from Tori Ferrari, Director of Bloom Home for Girls:

"FHFH is such a huge blessing to our ministry! For the last few years since we opened this shelter home for teenage girls, we have been trying to find an individual or organization that could donate meat and stock our freezers for many months to come. As I was researching one day, I came across FHFH and fell in love with what they do for God's children! I reached out to Josh and he instantly responded, eager to help. He was flexible and willing to find a solution for our need and he fulfilled our request above and beyond what we even asked. The Lord used Josh and FHFH to bless us beyond comprehension. We are so thankful to FHFH and the partnership that we have now formed with this wonderful and generous organization. We pray that they are abundantly blessed in return!"

​

​We received the following thank you note from Sarah McAleavy of the Frederick Community Action Agency for meat provided to them by our Frederick County FHFH chapter during the COVID-19 pandemic. This distribution has been made possible thanks to a special COVID-19 relief grant from the Community Foundation of Frederick County.

“We are so grateful for the continued support of FHFH to our community.  So far we have received approximately 600 lbs. of ground beef from JB Farms. This came to us at a time when stores were depleted of meats and increased need in our community.  We have been distributing food to approximately 500 families a week and the community was so thankful to receive ground beef at a time when it was impossible to find.  We cannot thank you enough for your amazing donation!  We could not do what we do without our community partners.” ~ ​Sarah McAleavy, CMP, CCNP, Supervisor of CACFP

Shepherds Christian Assembly, Ohio

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. Shepherds Christian Assembly is
 in their 14th year of ministry in Coshocton. They said Dewy Thompson, Chapter Coordinator of Coshocton County FHFH, has been a blessing to them.

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!

Hebron Country Food Pantry, Indiana
​

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!

Last year, the North Central Indiana FHFH chapter donated the processed meat from six deer to Bona Vista’s 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! 

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.”

FHFH is committed to ending hunger and provided venison to the Kokomo Rescue Mission which serves six counties in Indiana.  We received this note of thanks:


Dear Friends,

On behalf of the Kokomo Rescue Mission and those we serve, I want to thank you for the generous donation of food.  I can assure you that your donation went to feed the hungry and homeless through the Kokomo Rescue Mission dining room.  Your donation included three deer and the processing fees for three deer.

There are so many people who come to the Mission daily who are hungry and your donation enables us to serve them nutritious meals.  It is because of your generosity and faithfulness in donating that this ministry is able to continue to share, help and provide to those who are struggling.

Again, thank you for helping support the Mission's vision.  Thank you so much for helping feed the hungry!  May God continue to bless you!

Blessings,

Hebron Country Food Pantry, Indiana

Dear Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry,

 
Thank you so much for your assistance in paying for the processing of the 4-H steer we purchased at the Porter Country Fair.  We purchased the dairy steer with money from a Boone Township Buyers Group.  It was wonderful to have money to process this animal, grinding it into hamburger for easy and fair distribution to our clients.  Our clients are very grateful for this wonderful meat. 
 
Hebron is a small town in Northwest Indiana.  There is a great deal of need in the town.  According to the latest census, 14% of our residents live at the poverty level.  Our pantry serves an average 125 families a month.  We are very blessed to have the support of the school, business, and many individuals in our community.  We would not be able to accomplish what we do without the help of so many.
 
We are very grateful for the help your organization has given us.  We have also received venison through your organization.  Venison is very well received by our clients. 
 
Our clientele is made up of single mothers (many working 29 hours a week), large families, senior citizens and persons with disabilities.  Many tell us often that they don’t know what they would do without our assistance. 

Thank you very much!!

Thanks to the tremendous effort of FHFH, the Frederick Community Action Agency was able to provide 800 families a month with fresh meat to feed their families.  Our families were especially grateful because we were able to provide healthy meat choice to them daily.  We also were able to use some of the venison in our soup kitchen and provide lean, vitamin enriched meat to our homeless in Frederick County who need it the most.  We feed anywhere from 80-130 individuals a night in our soup kitchen and with the wide variety of cuts we were able to provide a multitude of meal choices throughout the winter.

Miriam’s Kitchen

Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry reached out to us in 2016 and has been a significant partner for our protein supply in 2016.  As the Executive Chef, I am grateful for the partnership and steady supply of high-quality proteins to our guests. 

Miriam’s Kitchen is committed to ending chronic homelessness in DC by creating meaningful connections with chronically homeless individuals, placing them in permanent supportive housing, and ensuring they have the necessary support to remain in housing.  We advocate for permanent supportive housing as a long-term solution, while meeting short-term needs by providing healthy meals and high quality social services to more than 2,500 chronically homeless individuals each week. 

We use about two hundred pounds of meat a week at our operation, all of which comes from donations. If we could continue to have a consistent supply of venison to help offset this large need, it would benefit our guests and the organization greatly.  The chef team at Miriam’s Kitchen would be happy to continue to use any and all venison donations we could get from FHFH.  The work they are doing not only benefits those who are most in need of the dignity of a restaurant-quality meal, but also betters the environment and DC community at large. 

With gratitude,

Abba House

The North Georgia Foothills chapter of Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry made its annual meat donation to the local Abba House food ministry located in Dawsonville.  Throughout the fall, hunters in Dawson, Forsyth, Lumpkin and Hall counties donate harvested deer for processing.  The venison is processed and divided into two pound packs by Southers Deer Cooler of Murrayville. 

This year Joe Schuster, Chapter Coordinator for North Georgia Foothills FHFH, delivered 200 pounds of protein rich meat to Jennifer Rabun, Director of the Food Ministry at Abba House.  "We are so grateful for groups like FHFH to help with our food needs.  We'd like to thank all of the hunters that donated deer this season to help with our shelter."

Hoosier Hills Food Bank

There are several reasons why receiving deer meat is essential to Hoosier Hills Food Bank.  We serve 6 counties in South Central Indiana, over 100 member agencies that serve over 26,000 individuals each year. In total HHFB provides about 14,000 meals on any given day.  Unfortunately, finding protein to go with the meals and distributions is a real challenge.  In our community we often hear about local foods, healthy local foods and what better source of healthy protein than freshly harvested deer meat.  Normally when we receive a donation from KW Deer Processing the product is gone within hours.  Places like Indiana Indian Movement in Lawrence County depend on donations like this because it might be the only meat they get for weeks at a time.  For that reason we are so appreciative of the partnership with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry and we look forward to growing this partnership in the future.

Great Harvest

We have fed more families than I can remember.  It started out with 4 families who I knew personally.  All of them large families.  I gave all that meat out to these families, then you gave me more.

We fed a drug addict and his family.  I didn't want to give it (money) to him because he uses what money he has on drugs. Then I saw
his kids in the car and I was overwhelmed because I knew if he had money those babies wouldn't eat because he would blow it getting high, but if he had meat then the kids would eat.  I gave them 30 lbs. of burger.

Another lady has 4 teens, but adopted her sister's kids so she added 4 more kids to her 4.  Now it's a family of 10.  Both mom and dad work, but struggle.  We filled their freezer with 50 lbs. of burger and they were so grateful!

A lady had just had knee replacement.  It's just her and she needed a little help.  I gave her 20 lbs.

Pots of deer chili were fed to the homeless through the soup kitchen

A widow with a 19 year old son lost her husband in June.  I gave 20 lbs. of burger to them.  It was crazy because he was a hunter and he always filled the freezer with deer every year.

We have fed several others with 5 lbs. here and there.   It's been awesome.

I think we have around 40-50 lbs. left that we will use in the soup kitchen.

Thanks again, 
Tony Taylor

Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry Helps Manna Food Center Feed Families
by Jenna Umbriac, Manna Food Center
 
Thanks to a collaboration with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) we were able to fund the processing of three locally raised steer, that's more than 350 pounds of grass-fed beef cuts. The steer were generously donated by Keith Ohlinger of Heritage Hill Farm in Howard County.  Lower in saturated fat, higher in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, grass-fed meat is a valuable, but typically cost-prohibitive item for Manna to procure.  Were it not for the support of FHFH, this quality protein would never have made it from farm to food bank.

Picture

Picture
This is not Manna's first time working with FHFH.  Every year hunters across Maryland harvest more deer than they can eat or share with their friends and family.  Additionally, farmers are issued management permits to reduce deer numbers that are damaging their crop yields.  Farmers and hunters donate their deer or livestock to inspected, approved meat processors that participate with FHFH and Manna picks up the lean protein and shares it with families we serve.  On the day of this writing, we picked up over 1,200 pounds of FHFH-provided venison, enough protein for over 6,000 meals!

A Manna Food Center client responded about the venison distribution:  “This is the greatest find!  I was super excited to see the venison in my box today.  I can't wait to cook it.  Thank you very much to the people who donated it.  I hope this remains a staple each month in season."

We want to continue to provide healthful meat options like these and FHFH is critical to that mission.  Please consider supporting FHFH in their important work!

Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry Grateful for Venison Donations

The Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry is grateful to the Blue Ridge North Carolina FHFH chapter for the donation of 400 pounds of venison which they have been providing for a number of years. Our clients are always pleased to get meat and fresh produce. We currently have 3,300 clients who have been helped over the past four years. They need help with food, clothing, utility and medical assistance. Last year we provided more than 18,000 client services. It costs $48,000 a year to keep staples on our pantry shelves. Without community support we could not help those in need.

Sincerely,
Jean

Kokomo Rescue Mission Receives Much Needed Venison
 
We are so very grateful to you and Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry for agreeing to pay the processing charges for deer that are donated to the Mission.  On behalf of the Kokomo Rescue Mission and those we serve, than you so very much for having the heart to feed the hungry and including Howard County in this blessing. 
 
In 2014, eighteen deer were donated to the Mission.  This donation means that the people who come to the Kokomo Rescue Mission will be fed good and lean meat.  Thank you to Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry for being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.  You have demonstrated His love and showing so many people that they are important and that they matter.
 
Please feel free to stop by our facility and take a tour the next time you come to Kokomo.  Thank you again, not only for the deer meat that we will receive, but also for showing just how great our God is.

 “Loves and Fishes” Ministry Gives Thanks

Our sincere thanks for the overwhelming large amount of venison brought into our St. Mary’s County.  Our “Loves and Fishes” ministry at First Saints Community Church at St. Paul’s in Leonardtown, MD was a recipient.  Many lives are touched and the venison was welcomed and enjoyed by those who come for a meal.  We are truly grateful for this loving donation you made to this worthy cause of helping those in our community who are less fortunate.  

May God truly bless each of you today and always.

Food Pantry in Cass County, Indiana Blessed to Receive Venison
   
On behalf of the staff, the volunteers, and especially the clients; we would like to thank Mr. Worman and his crew for their generous donation of venison.  The smile on the clients face when they were able to receive "good meat" was contagious to the volunteers and staff.  The joy spread amongst everyone.   One lady, on a very high protein diet, was almost in tears to see such a generous donation made.  She even said it's good people willing to help others that makes this world go round. 

Personally, this new fight against hunger has been a major success and blessing in the Cass County Community.

Thanks again!
Kayla Escobar, Food Pantry Manager, Indiana

Generous Youth in Indiana Donates A Buck and a Doe to FHFH

In 2019, Andrew in Indiana shot and donated a button buck to FHFH for the local food pantry. He also harvested a nice 13 point that he kept for a mount. With his donation Andrew was entered into a contest for a gift card which he won! The gift card was used to purchase a new hunting rifle that he used in 2020 to shoot two does and another large buck – this time a 9-point that is in the process of being mounted as well. He donated the buck along with one of the does to FHFH.  He just had both bucks measured and scored. The one from 2019 was 155 7/8 and the one from 2020 was 153 1/8. 


Andrew loves hunting, and his family appreciates having the opportunity to donate the meat locally to help feed those in need once their own freezer is full. Andrew is an honor roll freshman, runs varsity cross country, participates in 4-H and FFA, and he loves hunting, trapping, fishing, forging, and welding. Now he’s added “feeding the hungry” to his young list of accomplishments!

Thank you Andrew for donating your buck to FHFH and helping to feed the hungry people in your community!

First Buck Donated to FHFH

Kelli donated her first buck to Black Fork FHFH (OH-43) last year.  Kelli shared how she helped feed people in need.


"My third time ever hunting I was able to help feed the hungry with a nice buck.  I was very fortunate to hunt in a deer stand that my stepdad built for me, because I broke my foot prior to hunting.  I shot the deer with a 450 Bushmaster right after sunrise about 80 yards out. I will never forget shooting my first buck, and the families it was able to feed."

Thank you Kelli for donating your buck to FHFH. Because of your generosity approximately 200 servings of meat will be provided to people struggling with hunger.

Generous Youth Donates First Buck to Feed the Hungry!

​​Nick in Ohio recently shared this inspiring story with us. Last Thanksgiving Nick’s 11 year old son Kyler shot his first buck.  Shortly afterward that day Nick also shot a buck.  Nick said Kyler has such a giving heart that he decided to donate his deer to FHFH.  Nick felt compelled to donate his deer as well so they took both deer to one of our FHFH participating butcher shops - Sunset Meat Market in Piqua, Ohio.  When they donated their deer the butcher thanked them and congratulated Kyler on his first buck.

We sent Nick and Kyler several FHFH hats and an FHFH news magazine.  Kyler was surprised and said, “I want to donate all of my deer to them!”  Nick thought he was just excited by the hats, but was humbled to learn Kyler had been motivated by the stories in our news magazine.  According to Kyler, “We can feed a lot more families with our deer!”

THANK YOU SO MUCH Nick and Kyler for donating your bucks to help feed the people ​in your community struggling with hunger.

Eight-year-old Girl Donates Deer to Feed the Hungry in North Carolina

Carlee Grace, the 8-year-old daughter of a long-time Chapter Coordinator in North Carolina, is an amazing young lady.  She likes the outdoors and asked her dad if she could go deer hunting with him.  After watching a young deer for about an hour she decided to take a shot and donated the deer to FHFH to feed the hungry in North Carolina. 


Does Donated to Feed the Hungry in Ohio

In the opening weekend of Ohio's archery season, my wife and I both tagged does just minutes apart out of the same tree.  We kept one for our freezer, and donated the other to FHFH (Defiance County Chapter).  We will be donating any additional harvests this season to FHFH as well.

Buck Donated to FHFH

On January 15th, God blessed me with an opportunity to harvest a nice buck and to help feed the hungry.  It was a long shot at 53 yards, just before dark, with my Stryker Crossbow.  I practiced all year for a shot like this and finally I got my chance.  This buck is very special to me since it’s my first January buck ever, and my first late season donation to FHFH. 

I was hoping for a buck like this all season and passed on some other deer this year, but on this day I changed my mind to take what ever mature buck or doe that God could offer me to donate to FHFH.  I truly believe that God always gives us what we need in all aspects of our life (it was my selfish need to get a buck).  It’s not always what we want and when we want it, but it’s what we need according to God’s plan.  As long as we can keep our faith and trust, God will deliver what we need when we need it.

Thanks for reading my story.  May God bless your life and your hunting season in 2011!

Like Father Like Son

Luke has enjoyed hunting since he was 6 years old.  Now 13, he has harvested around a dozen deer total.  He truly enjoys the outdoors, and I enjoy spending the extra time with him in the woods and afield.  

I truly believe in hunting with my son not for him—a comment I heard somewhere in the industry many years ago.  I believe that the youth among us are the future of our hunting heritage, and we as mentors, conservationists, parents and role models should take every opportunity to share our time in the outdoors with them.  

Although still young, Luke has come to understand many things in life as a result of his volunteering with FHFH.  He has seen first-hand what our efforts do for our communities, our state and the families who benefit from our efforts.  

While most kids spend their "off time" on computer games and with friends, Luke, when not playing soccer, has chosen to volunteer his time in the outdoors to further our cause.  

He has personally chosen to donate EVERY deer he has harvested into our feeding program!

Noah Donates His First Antlered Deer to FHFH

Last night in Kentucky, Noah harvested his first antlered deer!  This was a deer that the property owner had on trail camera and wanted to harvest due to the odd spike on the right.  This was the only deer we saw last night, and Noah put a great shot on it from 82 yards.

To say Noah was excited was an understatement. He was ecstatic!  As you might imagine it was very special for us to have that time together. He is still on cloud nine today.  After he inspected the deer, one of his first questions was “How many people do you think this one will feed?”  My answer was short, “A lot.”  We weighed the deer last night at 65 pounds, so I estimated about 80 pounds of meat.  Noah is looking forward to having the rack mounted and the meat donated. 

 We know this would not have been possible without our God.  Noah said he had been praying for a buck and wondered why it had taken so long to get one.  I told him that God was teaching him patience and that all things happen with God’s timing, not our own. He said that God has definitely taught him patience.  A great lesson for a young boy who will be a great man, in God’s time.

“Taking Children Afield”

This season I was blessed enough to be able to take Luke's sister (Allyson) out for her first successful deer hunt! I guess it's a family tradition as she was fortunate enough to harvest her first deer and donate it to FHFH!  I am truly blessed to have such great children.  They both understand the compassion and stewardship that is involved in our feeding ministry, and how it correlates with hunting and harvesting; then the subsequent donation of an animal for those less fortunate or simply in need.

While this was not Allyson's first hunt, she was persistent and over the course of about 5 hunts, accomplished her goal of harvesting a deer for those less fortunate.  The other hunts, "non productive"?  I say NO!  Although we spent many hours afield this season, until this harvest, the score was deer- three, Ally- zero.   


I don't consider it a "waste of time."  These other hunts were a great time to mentor, educate and re-connect with my daughter.  You see, in this day and age of cell phones, work, busy schedules, school events and the fact that our kids are growing up too fast, I appreciate a weekend alone in a blind, just her and I sharing stories and reconnecting!  All too often I see peoples’ schedules get so busy that they don't have or take the time to give one on one attention to their children.  This is  what they want and need; regardless of how they act or pretend to understand a parents busy schedule.  

And let me say one thing, while as a grown up who feels they need a weekend away, or a guy’s weekend to recharge, many kids are left alone to find their own way or things to do to keep busy.  Some of these choices are not healthy ones.  They aren't young forever, and sharing any experience outdoors only fosters a healthier ideal of how to spend a weekend and what one can do with their time.   

A friend commented, “That he could think of a dozen other things to do” rather than spend an unsuccessful weekend hunting.  I would challenge that comment.  While we strive for success, I feel hunting with a son, daughter or any youth interested in the outdoors, is more about the experience than the success.

"What better way to enlighten people on the positive role hunters play in today's society than sharing their bounty. We learned years ago from Josh Wilson at FHFH that food banks and shelters do amazing work but are almost always lacking in protein in the meals they serve. Helping your fellow man is what FHFH does and Mossy Oak is proud to have been a small part in their mission. God bless them for their tireless effort."

Feeding Hungry People is the Most Rewarding Thing

John and Beth Mollet have been volunteer coordinators for FHFH since 2005.  Their chapter, Central Indiana FHFH, serves Hamilton, Marion, Hancock, Henry and Madison counties.
 
"Knowing that we've provided for hungry people is the most rewarding, children in particular.  We both have a heart for the child and the elderly, and there are a lot of people out there that don't have food," John said. "Stats say one in five children go to bed hungry, and feeding hungry people is the most rewarding thing."

Tim Fisher, Co-Cordinator for Southwest Ohio FHFH, says "I enjoy being an FHFH coordinator because it brings me closer to people like myself who share a passion for God and the great outdoors.  Furthermore, I believe there comes a time in every hunters life that they have a desire to give back.  FHFH does just that, and actually sheds positive light to the minds of the anti and non-hunting public.  It's such a rewarding feeling to help others and not just ourselves!
