I put the word out every year about this great organization.405,340 pounds or 1.6 million servings were provided to those in need throughout Virginia in 2009 through Hunters for the Hungry.
The Hunters for the Hungry program has continued to expand. Annual distribution now exceeds 400,000 pounds. The potential exists to make three to four times that amount available each year. At this point the availability of finances is the limiting factor.
A breakdown of distribution of venison by year is listed below:
- 1991 33,948 pounds
- 1992 67,973 pounds
- 1993 69,167 pounds
