Hunters donate

vension for poor

With the 1992 big game season now history, vension donations to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank Network have reached 27,553 pounds.

“Our hats are off to the game wardens, forest rangers, checking station operators, meat processors and hunters,” said Thomas Jefferson Food Bank Manager Dan Bucca. “What teamwork! Everyone who promoted and participated in the program did a great job. ”

Hunters for the Hungry is a program developed by the Society of St. Andrew . The Society raised money to pay the processors who butchered and packaged venison for the Food Bank.

“We are indebted to the Society for providing us with a bountiful source of lean, nutritious meat,” said Bucca.

According to the Society’s Hunters for the Hungry Director, David Horne, some changes recently have been made. There is a new name, "Virginia Hunters Who Care”, and a separate non-profit status. Corporate sponsors are being sought.

Horne expects donations to reach 150,000 pounds annually within the next few years. This would double the 75,000 pounds donated statewide in 1992.
