Greensburg-based Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, which employs workers from Bartholomew County, has awarded a $7,500 grant to Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry for its “Meat” the Need program.
These funds will be used to assist the organization in paying processing fees for donations of large game and livestock.
Founded in 2011, Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry encourages the donation of large game and livestock to “Meat” the Need, raises financial support to pay processing fees for these donations and gives the meat to hunger relief-agencies within Indiana.
Hunters and farmers may donate, at no cost to them, by taking large game or livestock to a participating meat processor in their area. The donation will be processed, packaged in 1- to 2-pound packages and frozen or canned. Local hunger-relief agencies will be contacted for pick up and distribution of the meat back into the community from which it was donated.
The individuals and families that Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry serves are reached through food banks and other hunger-relief agencies whose services are strictly for low-income and poor populations.
