We provide a monetary donation from St. Peters to Hunters for the Hungry. St Peters has supported this project for more than five years.
From their website Hunters for the Hungry has distributed over 26.6 million quarter-pound servings of venison since their program began in 1991. Their goal for this year is to provide 280,000 pounds of venison to people in need in Virginia which will provide over a million servings.
The program is coordinated through the Baptist churches in Essex County. Hunters store the deer in a truck with Champlain. The Baptists pick it up and deliver to the butcher who prepares it and returns it to the Baptists which later distribute it.
Cookie and Johnny Davis went to Essex County on Feb 26, 2019 and picked up a truck load from Rev. Roy Foster, Pastor of Upper Essex Baptist Church.
They talked to Ann Tyree at social services and filled an empty freezer with packaged meat and ground meat for burgers. The Camden Hunt Club and St Peters both support the project.
