Sportsmen Against Hunger
by Dan Hertzog
This past year was a wonderful year for donations to the Kansas City Community Kitchen. The KC-SCI set a goal for 6000 pounds of wild game meat, and with the help from the club membership, we achieved this goal. We worked with the Missouri Department of Conservation on the cost of processing deer harvested in the urban hunt. This alone produced 1500 pounds of venison for the needy. Many members contacted me to pickup their donation or dropped it off themselves. I also received a substantial amount of meat from Hedge Hollow Ranch’s customers. Many of the hunters from out of state had limited space, so they donated the rest of their harvest to our program.
Due to the fantastic efforts of our club, International presented Bob Bazin with a club achievement award for the 6000 pounds of meat we donated this year. My hat’s off to everyone, and I challenge you to surpass this number this year!
