Over the past couple of years HH has collected over 105,000 lbs. of fish and game to feed hungry people in Texas. Clean Out Your Freezer is a very simple concept...clear out the freezer of last years harvest that you have not eaten to make room for this years harvest....donate the game and feed the hungry....during the hunting season there are a number of drop off processors or locations that will take your excess harvest to feed hungry folks....you can get a tax deduction and it does not cost you for the processing !!! There are lots of hunters & fisherman in your congregation. This is hunting/fishing with a purpose !!! If you would like additional information please visit the website. Thanks for your help.....HH will also be participating at the San Antonio and Fort Worth, Texas Trophy Hunters Extravaganzas this summer.
