Hundreds Of Deer
Donated During The First
Hunters For The Hungry
Collection Weekend
The Lee County Ledger, Thursday, November 22,2001 - Page 9A
LCMS Junior Trojan Scholars Announced
Hunters from across the state of
Georgia donated 488 harvested
deer to the Hunters for the Hun
gry (HFTH) program through the
first collection weekend (Nov.
10-11), according to the Georgia
Department of Natural Re
sources, Wildlife Resources Di
vision (WRD). The venison from
the deer will provide warm, nu
tritious meals for hundreds of less
fortunate Georgians during the
holidays. Donations from this
first of two collection weekends
already exceeded last year's grand
total of 455 deer. WRD reminds
sportsmen and women about a
second opportunity to donate har
vested deer Nov. 24-25, the week
end after Thanksgiving.
"The Division is extremely
pleased with the increase in do
nations of harvested deer this
year," says WRD Director David
Waller. "This is by far the most
successful year the program has
ever experienced and we hope
that in the spirit of the Thanks
giving Holiday that sportsmen
and women again will share their
bounty during the second collec
tion weekend."
The HFTH program is an an
nual event, now in its ninth year,
that occurs over two weekends in
November. Hunters donate har
vested deer at designated collec
tion sites. The deer are processed
into ground venison that is dis
tributed to food banks statewide
by the Atlanta Community Food
Bank (representing the Georgia
State Association of Food Banks).
Hunters interested in participat
ing should bring field-dressed
deer to any of the designated
drop-off locations. Collection
sites are marked with a blaze or
ange HFTH banner. The follow
ing locations, unless otherwise
noted, will be open from 9 a.m.
to 8 p.m. on Nov. 24-25:
