HHH December 2015 Update
Great News!
Through December 1st, 2015 HHH has helped deliver over 8,115 pounds of venison equating to 32,460 meals to the NJ food bank system.
But we can do better! Due to the generosity of our volunteers, sponsors, hunters and contributors, we believe we have funds to allow “amnesty” for the hunters in January and February, 2016. Normally our hunters contribute $10 to $20 per deer.
HHH is a 501-C3 not for profit organization. There is currently no state or federal funds for the program. The entire program is run directly from your donations. Over 1,500,000 meals have been distributed since the beginning in 1997. At a cost of roughly $1 per pound!
Earlier this year we had several events/fund raisers: Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays event, Black Knights 3D bow shoot, John McMahon Family night, Striper Fishing trip and the Pequest Open House. All events were very successful. Thank you to all who came out and supported us.
Over thanksgiving we were on Fox Network Chasing News; Here’s the link: http://www.my9nj.com/chasing-news/54866525-story
We had a lot of fun with Diana Blass the reporter from Fox news and thank her for the great story.
For 2016; Clay shoot and fishing trip again in the May frame. Among our many other events large and small.
As usual check out our (NEW) website for more info.
Our goal is to have an approved butcher in every county in our great state. We need your help with this. If you know of a butcher in your county (specifically Mercer, Warren and Sussex Counties), please spread the HHH word to them. We will work directly with them to get them set up as an official HHH butcher.
We did add another butcher in Camden County; Bringhurst Fine Meats/Catering 38 W. Taunton Road Berlin, NJ 08009 (856) 767-0110
How can you help?! Following are a couple of ideas that that can help HHH with just a click of the mouse!
Do you GoodSearch?
Switch your search engine on the computer to Good Search. www.GoodSearch.com.
Type in Hunters Helping the Hungry, NJ where it asks “Who do you GoodSearch for?”. Your computer will save this setting. GoodSearch is a search engine powered by Yahoo. For every search you make on the world wide web, a penny is donated to HHH. These pennies add up quick if everyone you know switches to GoodSearch!
Do you shop at Amazon?
First go to www.HuntersHelpingtheHungry.org.
On the right side of the butcher page there is a link for shopping at Amazon.com Click on this link and start shopping at Amazon.com. 4%-10% of the total cost of anything you buy will be donated back to Hunters Helping the Hungry. This will not change the cost of any items you are buying. There is a tremendous potential here for raising a ton of money, especially when shopping around Christmas time!
Like us on Face book; we have over 300 likes so far! Face book is a quick and easy way for us to communicate quickly with everyone.
For those of you on our mailing lists THANK YOU for your donations, financial contributions, time, and deer. Hunting season is upon us and you played a major part in helping those not as fortunate as most in New Jersey.
Please pass this mailer on to your friends, the larger our network the more good we can accomplish!
Your trustees,
Joe Schultz

Thank you Cabela’s!
For the past several years, Cabela’s in Hamburg, PA has allowed volunteers from Hunters Helping the Hungry to set up an information table around the holidays. This year trustees, Bud Thomas and Mark Charbonneau spent the day on 12/21/13 talking to lots of great people. Bud and Mark felt really proud of the efforts of all the HHH volunteers when many folks who visited had positive comments about what HHH does. Mark Charbonneau noticed that this year seemed to have more and longer conversations with supporters. He said that after discussing what we do, why we do it, and of course how we do it; customers took the time to make additional comments such as “God Bless You,” “Good for you guys,” “God be with you,” “Merry Christmas,” “Bless you,” etc. These comments certainly help to energize the volunteers this deer hunting season and all of 2014. HHH collected over $400 in donations that day. All of which helps HHH continue to put venison on the tables of those who are in need in New Jersey.
