Hunters help the hungry

Summary



In a story on ohio.com , there is an ispirational story of goodwill towards men.....and women. Apparently there is a ministry, which began in Maryland, that has spread throughout half the nation already. This ministry allows hunters to donate their deer and other game, to food banks, and they even raise money to cover the butchering costs. The successful hunters bring their game to the ministry designated butcher shops to be processed, the ministry pays for the processing with money raised through donations, and then the frozen packages of meat are distributed to food banks, where they goto families in need. This paticular article tells about the ohio branch of this ministry. The ministry is called 'Farmers and hunters feeding the hungry', and they work in conjunction with the Ohio department of wildlife.



Response



I think that this is a great ministry! I love hearing about communities pulling together and helping out one another. I am a hunter, and the idea that I could do what I love, and at the same time, be helping out families in need, and putting meat on their tables as well, just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I have not yet heard of this ministry being implemented in Missouri as of yet, but I know alot of people, who would be as excited as I am to jump in and help. In case any were wondering how I stumbled upon ohio.com, being here in missouri. There was actually a link to it on the NRA.org website. I know that with grocery stores and all the modern conviences, the idea of hunting for your food probably sounds primitive, but there is a feeling of accomplishment when you provide meat for a family the old fashion way.
