Description
When a hunter enters a forest with their bow or gun, there’s a good chance they won’t get a deer. So, you would expect those few that are able to successful hunt a deer to keep the meat for themselves. To feed their families and fill their freezers with the venison they harvested. But that’s not the case.Every year, hundreds of thousands of pounds of venison are donated to Hunters Sharing the Harvest. This nonprofit processes and distributes donated deer meat from hunters to local food banks and charitable organizations in urban and rural communities to the benefit of hungry men, women and families throughout the Commonwealth. What started out as a small nonprofit program in Pennsylvania, has evolved into the preferred nationally recognized model other states now replicate. It’s a success story built on kindness, generosity, charity and volunteerism. On this episode, I speak with Randy Ferguson. Randy is the executive director of Hunters Sharing the Harvest.Be sure to visit my website to get to notified about upcoming episodes.
