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.
