Connecting the Harvest to the Hungry: Supporting FHFH Through Donors Mutual
For many families struggling with food insecurity, protein is often the most expensive and hardest-to-come-by staple on the table. Based in Williamsport, MD, Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) addresses this gap by converting a natural, renewable resource into nutritious meals for local communities across Maryland and nationwide.
Turning Local Harvests into Nutritious Meals
FHFH partners with local deer processors, farmers, and hunters to donate wild game and livestock to food banks, soup kitchens, and emergency shelters. Their work turns a single harvested deer into approximately 160 high-protein meals for families in need. To date, FHFH has enabled the processing and distribution of over 24 million servings of meat, providing vital relief to community food banks that often struggle to keep fresh, lean protein in stock.
Maximizing Impact Through the Food Security Fund
Supporting FHFH through Donors Mutual’s Food Security Fund amplifies this unique, community-rooted model. Donors Mutual pools contributions to back impactful nonprofits that strengthen local food systems from emergency relief to sustainable distribution.
A donation to the fund directly advances FHFH's mission by:
Covering Processing Costs: Funding the professional butcher fees required to process donated game and livestock safely for distribution.
Expanding Local Partner Networks: Connecting more rural hunters and regional meat processors directly to neighborhood feeding programs.
Optimizing Protein Access: Ensuring low-income families receive nutrient-dense meat alongside traditional food pantry staples.
