A faith-based nonprofit ministry that collects donated farm and hunter-harvested meat, pays for processing as needed, and distributes nutritious meat to food banks and feeding programs to help feed the hungry in communities across the United States.
Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry Inc directs its grantmaking toward hunger relief through food distribution, with all 42 recent grants going to U.S. recipients. The foundation’s own model is tied to donated farm and hunter-harvested meat, and its support appears to help food banks, churches, and community programs move that food to people facing food insecurity. In the latest grants, Frederick Community Action Agency in Frederick, Maryland received $69,079, the largest award in the list, while Maryland Food Bank - Eastern Shore in Salisbury, Maryland received $44,599. Those larger awards sit alongside many smaller operating grants to local pantries and meal programs, showing a pattern of direct support to organizations already serving hungry households. Recipients range from state food banks to church-based pantries and community ministries, including Christ's Table in Zanesville, Ohio and Haven of Rest Ministries in Akron, Ohio. The mix of grantees points to a funder focused on getting food into existing distribution channels rather than funding broad advocacy or unrelated services.
The clearest theme in the grant list is direct hunger relief. Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry Inc gave $69,079 to Frederick Community Action Agency in Frederick, Maryland and $39,014 to Christ's Table in Zanesville, Ohio for hunger relief, indicating support for local organizations that place food with households in need. Food banks are another major channel: Maryland Food Bank - Eastern Shore in Salisbury, Maryland received $44,599 and Hoosier Hills Food Bank in Bloomington, Indiana received $9,485. The foundation also funds church-based and community pantry distribution, including $25,149 to Shepherd's Christian Assembly in Coshocton, Ohio and $9,998 to Chestertown Baptist Church in Chestertown, Maryland. Several awards go to ministries and pantry programs that likely operate meal or food-access services, such as Refuge of Hope in Canton, Ohio and Jesus Mission Food Pantry in Muscatine, Iowa.
Typical grant sizes are modest: the 25th percentile is $7,312, the median is $10,556, and the 75th percentile is $15,940. The grant list shows repeat recipients across years, including Maryland Food Bank - Eastern Shore, Frederick Community Action Agency, Carroll County Food Sunday, Loaves and Fishes Pantry - Carrolton, Angels on Assignment, Hoosier Hills Food Bank, and The Salvation Army in Muscatine. That pattern suggests ongoing support rather than one-time awards.
