Portage, Stark, & Summit County Hunters Encouraged to Donate Venison
Local Chapter of FHFH pays for processing 
 
AKRON, OH - Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH), a ministry that provides nutritious venison to the hungry through food banks and local feeding programs now has a participating chapter for Portage, Stark, and Summit counties. FHFH helps hunters return to their heritage as food-providers by transforming deer - renewable resources- into meals for the hungry.
 
Hunters can contact the following coordinator or donation center to arrange deer donations: 

Coordinator: Richard Cassell
(330) 628-4207

Participating butcher: Duma Meats
857 Randolph Road, Mogadore
330-628-3438
 
Successful hunters donate deer to partnering butcher shops that are licensed and inspected by the health department or USDA. Regional food banks as well as local feeding programs and ministries that feed the hungry pick up the packaged, frozen meat from the butcher shop. Local FHFH chapters raise money to cover the butchering costs so that hunters can donate their deer free of charge. FHFH then matches that amount with grant monies from Division of Wildlife.
           
FHFH began in 1997 and blossomed from one Maryland County to over half of the states in the nation. Since its inception, FHFH has provided nutritious meat for millions of meals to the food banks and agencies that serve the poor across the country. FHFH is a 501(c)(3) organization. All contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
