The Hunters Helping the Hungry Program was developed by three
hunters during the 1997-1998 hunting season to help provide needed
protein for local food banks while addressing the overpopulation of deer
in our community. Ten deer (approximately 500 pounds of venison)
were donated that first season. State Federation of Sportsmen Clubs, United
Bowhunters of NJ, NRA and with the support of the New Jersey Division of Fish
and Wildlife and support of the New Jersey Health Department have kept the initial
efforts moving forward. Many individual hunting clubs also support this program.
Hunters participate in the program by donating deer through an approved
butcher to the NORWESCAP (Phillipsburg, NJ) or Ocean Monmouth Food
Banks or Food Bank of South Jersey. Processing fees are paid to the butcher
by HHH from a fund consisting of donations and grants. Approved butchers are
inspected by the State of New Jersey health department. Hunters not only spend time
hunting and money for licenses and permits, but they also donate $10 to $65 of the
professional meat processing fee when they drop a deer off for processing.
Since the program's inception, HHH hunters have donated over 1,500,000
servings of protein to those in need. Supplying venison to those with a protein
deficient diet helps combat learning and health problems. In the 2014/2015 hunting
season, 22,931 pounds of venison have been processed. After processing, donated
venison is distributed by the Food Bank system to over 400 needy feeding charities
throughout New Jersey and to America's Second Harvest Food Banks statewide.
Donations to Hunters Helping the Hungry, Inc. can be mailed to HHH,
P.O. Box 587, Lebanon, New Jersey 08833 or through Paypal on our
website: www.HuntersHelpingTheHungry.org. HHH organizes a fund raising
fishing trip and sporting clay event. HHH has been featured on CNN, NJN and in
many local newspapers. Every State in America has a similar, but separate program.
Only deer harvested in New Jersey are eligible for donation. Only venison
processed at NJ State inspected butchers are eligible for donation.
Venison is low fat and low cholesterol and, of course, high in protein. A very
valuable food product for distribution in the food bank system. A healthy alternative for
those in need. HHH is a non-profit 501-c3 organization. A small group of volunteers sit
on the board of HHH and receive no compensation for their efforts. All administrative
duties are supplied by the volunteer board members. Butcher processing fees are also
discounted from normal retail fees by the approved butchers. Everyone who is a part
of HHH helps through their donations, volunteerism and generosity.
Funds from HHH only pay for venison donated by hunters! HHH does not
pay for any municipal depredation hunts or farmer depredation hunts. Many farmers
do support HHH through generous donations or allowing hunters to hunt their
property or requiring hunters who hunt their property to donate deer through this
program. Several municipalities and/or private organizations may organize hunters
to harvest deer; however, they pay 100% of the butchers' costs. Please visit our
website: www.HuntersHelpingTheHungry.org and cosider helping this
worthy cause. Thank You.

"It's true, Christmas can feel like a lot of work, particularly
for mothers. But when you look back on all the Christmases
in your life, you'll find you've created family traditions
and lasting memories. Those memories, good and bad, are
really what help to keep a family toge™er over the long haul. "
