Hunters Taking Aim at Hunger With New Donation Program The Independent, Canadian Statesman Weekender, Bowmanville, Saturday, November 6,1993 23 For the first time in Ontario, hunters hunters are taking aim at hunger by putting putting their "bucks" in local food banks in several Ontario communities, including including Toronto. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, with the.help of OFAH member clubs and sustaining members, members, is launching Hunters for the Hungry - a new program aiming to stock food bank freezers this fall with venison and moose. A Hunters for the Hungry Depot has been set up at Game Cutters in Toronto for hunters wanting to donate donate venison to the North York Food Harvest. The North York centre provides provides goods for other Toronto-area food banks. During.this year's deer and moose hunting season, successful hunters can take their game to designated OFAH Hunters for the Hungry butcher butcher shop depots and share their regular harvest with food banks. The donated venison and moose will then be collected collected and given to food banks for distribution. Hunters who have already already had their game processed can still take frozen, packaged and dated venison and moose to their nearest Hunters for the Hungry depot. "OFAH clubs have always taken a leading role when it comes to im-. proving and conserving Ontario's fish and wildlife resources," said Dr. Dave Ankney, president of the OFAH. "With Hunters for the Hungry, Hungry, clubs and hunters will be making yet another valuable contribution to their communities by sharing the benefits benefits of the outdoors." Hunters for the Hungry will help food banks at a time when demand is soaring and supplies - especially meat - are dwindling. The OFAH contacted food banks in the spring and found enthusiastic support for the program. Wild game offers excep- ' tional nutritional value, being high in protein and fibre and low in cholesterol, cholesterol, with one-seventh the fat of domestic domestic meat. A list of recipes given to clubs and prepared by the OFAH will help recipients enjoy great tasting tasting venison stews, chili, steaks and meatloaf. Hunters for the Hungry builds on INJURED?
