NRA SUPPORTS HUNTERS FOR THE HUNGRY
The NRA Hunters' Leadership Forum (HLF) is pleased to announce a new
level of support for Hunters for the Hungry (HFH), including the
creation of a $50,000 fund available to affiliates throughout the
country. An NRA-supported initiative, Hunters for the Hungry donates
millions of meals to charities and programs focused on feeding the less
fortunate every year.
“There are many NRA-supported programs that don’t get the spotlight they
deserve – Hunters for the Hungry is one of them,” says Joe DeBergalis,
executive director of NRA General Operations. “Through the program, more
than 2.1 million pounds of meat are donated every year. That translates
into 8.1 million meals for friends and neighbors in our communities.
That is meaningful food on the table, provided by NRA members and
supporters.”
Available in awards up to $1,500 at https://hfth.nra.org/hfh-subsidy/,
the fund will cover the cost of processing, shipping, and distributing
donated meat.
HFH is a loose affiliation of state and independent programs that has
provided millions of pounds of venison to homeless shelters, soup
kitchens, and food banks across the United States. Working closely with
the NRA, these programs connect interested individuals with programs in
their area while fostering public awareness through education,
fundraising, and publicity.
“I want to thank the generous donors who made it possible for HLF to
support this incredibly worthy cause," said HLF Director Peter
Churchbourne. “America has a long tradition of embracing the vast
resources hunting provides as means for feeding family and friends. We
are honored to play a role in that noble process."
Approximately 40 unique HFH programs operate throughout the United
States on shoestring budgets. Each are individually responsible for
transporting donated game meat from the field to the butcher and
ultimately to the facilities that provide meals. The NRA encourages all
members and supporters to donate to those programs either financially or
by donating harvested game meat.
