Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry in Pensacola!

PensacolaEd · 01-23-2009, 02:35 PM

Well, I got word yesterday that my application to become the local Pensacola Coordinator for a Chapter of Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) has been approved. Not sure what we can get done this year, but I wanted everyone to know that we will very soon have a Chapter of Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry in Pensacola. I am very excited to have a chance to participate in this Program.

For those unfamiliar with the Program, harvested deer are donated at a local Processing facility (I will refrain from mentioning which Processor is participating until I get things rolling). The discounted cost to process the deer is funded throughcharitable donations, and the meat is provided to a local Food Bank to feed hungry families. I feel that it''s a great way to give Hunters some positive publicity, while helping feed some hungry folks with high quality wild game meat.

I will be starting some local Fundraising activities for this Program soon after I receive my Start-up Information, and hope that I can count on the good folks on this Forum to help me get things rolling. Even if we can get a handful of deer donated this year, we will be making a difference in someone's lives.

If you are interested in finding out more about FHFH, you may visit our Website (www.fhfh.org) or PM me.

Good for you, man!:clap

Hope it works out! I don't hunt, but if you expand to accepting fish, I'll contribute some dinner on occassion!

That is outstanding! Congratulations on the approval. I expect this program to receive a lot of support from our hunting community, especially forum members.

Make sure we all know well in advance what day Ted Nugent is going to come and guest speak.

THIS IS AWESOME - PLEASE DO KEEP US UP TO DATE ON THIS!!!!!

We have needed this in our area for some time now! I havea friend who is already at his limit for what he can keep as far as deer meat goes - and I am sure he would be glad to make donations, as would I and several others that I know!

I applaud your efforts to get this brought to our area!

Good deal Ed!! Let me know when you get it completed. I have one deer in the freezer and that is all I can keep since the wife isn't a fan of venison.

Maybe one of the moderators can pin this to the top. Once again Ed if there's anything I can do just let me know.

Thanks everyone for the replies, PM's and offers of help. I expect to receive my Start-Up Package early this week, so I can get the ball rolling. I would really like to ba able to process at least a few deer this year, then get ready to kick butt next year.
