THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED US MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN 2020! 2020 PROGRAM TOTALS – 207,366 POUNDS – 829,464 SERVINGS.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED US MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN 2020!

As we all continue to deal with the changes and challenges brought about by the COVID 19 situation our program, our communities, our Nation, and World are finding out we are stronger together and we must continue to work together to help make a difference! We pray for safety, health, and blessings for all! For our program 2020 created many struggles and challenges but we want to say THANK YOU to all the individuals, churches, businesses, corporations, organizations, and foundations who all provided support to our program and feeding efforts. Although we had to suspend accepting deer for a large portion of 2020, because of the financial gifts we were blessed to receive and through the generosity of hunters who shared their harvest we were able to process and distribute 207,366 pounds for 2020! This amount of venison allowed us to provide 829,464 quarter pound servings to men, women, children, the elderly, the homeless, and our veterans!

As we are completing the 1st quarter of 2021 we have the opportunity to continue to accept deer throughout the spring and summer and into the 2021/2022 hunting seasons! The great thing about having the ability to accept these deer is that it affords us the chance to provide essential lean high protein red meat to foodbanks and other feeding programs almost year round!

WE CONTINUE TO NEED DEER AND DOLLARS IN ORDER TO CONTINUE OUR MISSION OF PROVIDING FOR THOSE LESS FORTUNATE! PLEASE CONSIDER A FINANCIAL GIFT OF ANY AMOUNT IN SUPPORT OF OUR FEEDING EFFORTS!

FOR A GIFT OF $20.00 WE CAN PROVIDE 64 SERVINGS TO A MAN, WOMAN, OR CHILD STRUGGLING WITH HUNGER! You can make a one time gift or set up a month recurring gift of any amount! These dollars help us to help those in need throughout our state NOW and during the fall hunting seasons! For a gift of $50 we can process an entire deer, providing an average of 40 pounds of nutritious food!

UPDATE: As of Monday March 1, 2021 Hunters for the Hungry will resume accepting deer harvested in Loudoun County at Mark’s Butcher Shop in Hamilton! Deer will accepted during the late season until March 31, 2021! All donated deer will be tested for CWD and donated to local Loudoun, Fauquier, and other Northern Virginia feeding programs!

UPDATE AS OF FEBRUARY 4, 2021

As a result of a NEW test positive for CWD in RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY Hunters for the Hungry will not be accepting deer harvested in Rappahannock County.

As a result of the Department of Wildlife Resources’ (DWR) 2020 – 2021 chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance efforts, CWD was detected for the first time in Rappahannock County. The affected adult buck was harvested during the latter half of the regular firearms season. DWR is grateful to all cooperating hunters, processors, and taxidermists for their continued support of DWR’s efforts to monitor the deer population for CWD and prevent the spread of the disease. DWR cannot fight this disease alone! A summary of DWR’s 2020 – 2021 CWD surveillance and monitoring efforts will be released later this winter. Additional information about CWD, can be found on the DWR website at:

https://dwr.virginia.gov/wildlife/diseases/cwd/.

As we all begin the New Year we at Hunters for the Hungry would like to express our deepest and most sincere appreciation to everyone who supported our charity throughout 2020. Hunters and non-hunters all came together this past year and despite the changes and challenges that we all faced, supported our feeding efforts. Hunters for the Hungry was blessed by all who donated, whether it was deer or dollars, those who supported our fundraisers and other events, those who volunteered their time and talents toward our operations, and those who worked with our program processing donated deer or those with participating feeding programs statewide who provide the venison to those in need! We could not do what we do without you all!

Please keep in mind that although the majority of the deer seasons have ended we will now be receiving final processing bills and in some areas of the state we will continue to recieve processing bills as firearms seasons will run through March 28th and Urban Archery through April 25th!

Many times during these winter months food banks can really use the support and we are blessed to contniue to receive both deer and dollars through this first quarter of the year. You can make a financial donation through our Facebook page,Hunters for the Hungry – Virginia, or you can donate here on our website atwww.h4hungry.org.

Again thank you all and God bless you and yours throughout this New Year and always!

Our impact continues throughout the state! Here’s a project we have in the Southside / Central Region of the state encompassing Amherst, Alleghany, Bedford, Franklin, Nelson, Roanoke, and Rockbridge Counties and the City of Lynchburg!

We are so thankful to our processors and feeding programs in these areas who work so hard and give so much to help us reach out to those who face hunger each day! We are so blessed also for the hunters who share their harvest with us so we will have the lean protein to provide to men, women, children, the elderly, the homeless, and our veterans!

In these areas we work with the following processors: * Green Valley Meat Processing, Monroe, VA; Steve’s Butcher Shop, Lowesville, VA; A & N Processing, Bedford, VA; Backroad Butcher Meat Company, Thaxton, VA; J & M Deer Processing, Rocky Mount, VA, Peaks Slaughterhouse, Lynchburg, VA; Bartley’s Meat Market, Covington, VA; and Frank Persinger, Jr., Clifton Forge, VA

These precious businesses accept deer on behalf of our program and help us to provide venison to over 50 feeding programs that participate with Hunters for the Hungry!

In 2019 alone we were able to provide 61,825 pounds of venison, 247,300 quarter pound serving, to men, women, and children less fortunate! Thanks to the hunters and non hunters alike who have all come together to help us help those in need, especially so far this year with the many changes and challenges we have all faced! God bless you all!

Hunters for the Hungry would like to recognize a special project and those who are a part of its success providing venison in the Southampton and Isle of Wight County and surrounding areas as well as throughout New Kent County, Henrico and Hanover Counties.

This trailer was purchased and donated to the Hunters for the Hungry program by the Virginia Hound Heritage organization to allow processor David Burks to service trailers in 6 counties. These deer have then been processed and the meat distributed back to those contributing counties and throughout the Richmond and surrounding areas. In just two seasons, to date, this project has processed and distributed 22,095 pounds, 88,380 quarter pound servings!

Thanks to the Virginia Hound Heritage organization, Burks Farm Processing, New London Trailers and Line-X of Chesapeake!

As many of you know 2020 has been a challenge for us, We’ve had to re-schedule some events and cancel others! BUT our program is so very blessed in so many ways! ESPECIALLY through the wonderful people who are a part of what we do! As you saw recently we had to cancel our Hunters for the Hungry Northern Virginia Sportsmans Banquet scheduled for July 18th! HOWEVER, the precious folks who make up that banquet committee, our NOVA HftH Team decided to pursue a GoFundMe page to help with the revenues lost by this cancellation and to help us go beyond the banquet proceeds in helping feed those in need! We not only want to be able to resume accepting deer now but need to have the funding in place for the upcoming hunting seasons! WOULD YOU HELP THEM OUT IN REACHING THEIR GOAL FOR THE HUNTERS FOR THE HUNGRY PROGRAM?

Mathew 25:35 – “For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:”

I’ve been contemplating on what my first post would be, I had the illusion that it needed to be ‘perfect’. After a somewhat hectic week, I needed a simple and easy dessert recipe to help me whine down and luckily this was it. I guess as with anything, the hardest bit is just starting, taking that first step to get the ball rolling. So here it is, my first step. No more procrastinating and coming up with reasons why not too, time to start asking and being excited about ‘what next?’

INGREDIENTS

For the base

• 150g all butter shortbread biscuits
• 30g unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp white caster sugar
• 25g neutral popping candy

For the chocolate ganache

• 175g whipping cream (I brought a tub of Bulla’s Thickened Cream and used about 200ml)
• Pinch of salt
• Pulp from 6 passion fruits (I used two of the mini cans of passionfruit pulp – not in syrup)
• 50g fresh custard ( About 1 heap tablespoon)
• 110g dark chocolate (minimum of 60% cocoa solids), broken into pieces
• 50g milk chocolate, broken into pieces

For the flocking

• 500g dark chocolate
• 200g vegetable oil

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas mark 4. Place the shortbread biscuits on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes until golden brown.
2. Place the biscuits in a food processor and add the melted butter and sugar. Blitz until the mixture resembles fine sand in texture.
3. Gently stir in the popping candy. Place the mixture inside a 15cm cake ring placed on a tray lined with baking paper. Flatten using the back of a spoon then put to one side to set.
4. Add the cream, salt and passion fruit to a small saucepan and place over a medium heat until it almost comes to the boil. Remove from the heat and allow to stand for 5 minutes, then stir in the fresh custard.
5. Put the dark and milk chocolate in a bowl. Place over a bain marie (a pan of gently simmering water) and allow to melt completely. Remove from the heat.
6. Strain the infused cream and add to the bowl of melted chocolate a third at a time, making sure to incorporate the cream thoroughly after each addition. Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature.
7. Once the tart base has set, use a pastry brush to spread some of the ganache on top of the base and around the edges then place in the freezer for 5 minutes. This will ensure that the ganache will not seep through.
8. After 5 minutes, pour the remaining ganache into the ring and place the tart in the fridge to set for 2 hours. Place the tart in the freezer at least 4 hours before flocking.
9. After the gateau is fully frozen, sit the gateau on a wide upturning glass or pot. Remove the metal ring by lightly warming with a blow torch. Remove by carefully sliding the ring downwards. Place back in the freezer.
10. For the flocking, break the chocolate into chunks and place in a small bowl. Melt the chocolate by placing the bowl over a bain marie. Leave to cool slightly before stirring in the vegetable oil.
11. Fill the base of a paint gun with the melted chocolate mixture and attach the nozzle. To avoid redecorating the kitchen in chocolate brown, set a large cardboard box on its side to provide a protective roof and walls to work in.
12. Remove the gateau from the freezer and carefully lift it onto a plate. Place the gateau in the cardboard box then spray it with the chocolate, turning carefully as you go. Return it to the freezer until 20 minutes before serving.

MY NOTES:

• The recipe is based on a 15cm cake tin, which I didn’t have so I used a 20cm loose base cake tin instead.
• I used 1 packet of Arnott’s Scotch Finger Biscuits and about 80 grams of melted unsalted butter. I didn’t bother with the whole baking of the biscuits in step 1.
• I couldn’t find neutral popping candy so used a strawberry flavoured one instead (brought it from Big W) which I’m glad I did; strawberry plus scotch fingers and butter = YUM!
• I included the sugar for the base this time, but actually don’t think you need to add it.
• After I made the base in the tin, I sprinkled more popping candy on top just incase = D
• I skipped steps 10 – 12 because I didn’t have a paint gun and wasn’t about to buy one just for this, instead I just dusted the cake with cocoa powder.

MY VERDICT:

Jamaican Me Hungry Allston

This is really simple and easy to make but to be honest I find it way to rich. All the flavours are good together, the passionfruit really helps cut the richness of this dessert but you still wouldn’t want to have a whole slice of this to yourself. The best bit of the dessert for me was the base. The popping candy hit wasn’t as much as I expected (so you may even want to add more then I did) but the flavour of the base was awesome! As I said, strawberry plus scotch finger biscuits and butter = YUM! Would I make this again? probably not for myself. But I am defiantly going to use the base in something else. I’m thinking with white chocolate mousse instead it’ll be like strawberries and cream and hopefully not as rich as the original version. Screens for mac download.
