Feeding the hungry is definitely an important point missed in most discussions on gun control.
For those who are not aware, we also have a HHH program in NE which is run by our NGPC. Last year was the programs first year.
Read the detail about the program at the URL below. This is a good program which we should help support.
Highlights From the First Program Year (from NGPC web site).
By summer 2012 the Commission received enough cash donations to budget processing for 271 deer through January 2013. In all, 188 hunters donated 213 deer, resulting in 11,536 pounds of venison distributed through sixteen different charitable organizations across the state. The dollars budgeted for processing venison in the first year that were not used due to unfilled quotas, will be added to the budget for the second year.
Many hunters were very generous; one out of every nine hunters who donated a deer, donated more than one. Landowner permits accounted for about one in five of all permits used to harvest donated deer, and one in eight permits used to donate deer were harvested from nonresident permits.
Hunters Helping the Hungry program was created in April 2012 with the Nebraska Legislature's passage of LB 928.
