Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) is a unique organization that processes deer donated by hunters, then distributes the meat to the hungry. The food is free to FHFH, which calls itself the “Venison Feeding Ministry,” but there is still a cost to process the deer. That’s where the Walmart Foundation and Caldwell come in.
Walmart has made a $2 billion commitment through 2015 for hunger relief in the United States, including Hunger Outreach Grants of $1,000 to support local hunger organizations in the communities it serves. Through the FHFH Gulf Coast Chapter, me, my wife Melissa, and Gary and Missy Plum of Palmetto were awarded four grants of $1,000 each from Sam’s Club, 300 N. Cattlemen Rd., Sarasota; and Walmart stores at 4381 Cattlemen Rd., Sarasota; 6225 E. State River Road 64, Bradenton; and 13140 S. Tamiami Trail, Osprey. If you know any hunters with venison to donate, please ask them to contact me, kelly@ctrusat.com or Gary and Missy Plum at FHFH Gulf Coast Chapter, 941.725.1991, or SuncoastFHFH@gmail.com. They can help to feed a hungry family and it won’t cost them a cent.
