Farmers
& Hunters Feeding the Hungry
How does it work?
|
| |
Farmers & Hunters Feeding the
Hungry (FHFH) works with local butcher shops that are USDA or health
department inspected and are willing to accept and process deer, cattle,
hogs, chickens, and buffalo that are donated by hunters and landowners.
The packaged meat is then taken to Second Harvest Food Bank for
distribution to LOCAL food pantries, homeless shelters,
and soup kitchens.
After processing the meat, the butchers send their bills to the local
FHFH coordinator for payment (about $50 per deer and $0.45 per pound for
cattle and hogs).
The local chapter of FHFH raise money through a variety of events and
campaigns to cover these expenses. FHFH is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
corporation and contributions are tax deductible (see your tax
preparer).
