More than 11% of Tennessee’s children and 19% of the elderly go to bed hungry. Hunters for the Hungry is a program of the Tennessee Wildlife Federation. Through this program, hunters and meat processors fight hunger by providing properly prepared venison to food banks and soup kitchens across the state. Donated venison provides hungry families a high-protein, low-fat supplement vital to a healthy diet. Also, venison donated to soup kitchens lowers food costs and puts more meat on the table at a critical time of year. As an example, donated venison allows the Nashville Union Mission to put meat on the table -- one meal in four -- at a time when many of their clients need the extra protein to keep warm while sleeping on the street.

We finally reached our destination; Tennessee's first and only public viewing area for elk, Hatfield Knob Wildlife Viewing Area. |
