With the opening day of Ohio’s deer-gun season on November 30, hunters are reminded that donating a deer is free at meat processors participating in the Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) venison donation program.
In Delaware and Morrow County, the local chapter is led by Justin Ross of Sunbury and you can reach him at 740.817.2643. A participating butcher is Hoffman Custom and Wholesale Meats in Cardnigton.
Although venison donations are accepted any day during the deer hunting season, September 26 – February 7, 2010. Saturday, December 5 has been designated as FHFH Day. Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife Chief Dave Graham challenges all deer hunters to make this year special for Ohio’s hungry. Last year, hunters showed they cared by donating nearly 220,000 meals to Ohioans in need.
“I personally challenge Ohio’s hunters to double that number this year and to help us all to remember to make the donations. I’m going to label Saturday, December 5, as Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry Day,†said Graham. “I will try to take a doe that day and I’ll donate it to the FHFH program.â€
The FHFH Web site also allows people to donate cash that will supplement the funds being raised to help pay for processing the meat.
