On behalf of the Winner Ministerial Association we wish to thank you for your recent donation to our Community Food Pantry. The donation of venison from your organization is appreciated very much. We ask each family if we can include venison in their monthly food box. This additional protein option will help fill the need for several families.

Thank you very much.

Merry Christmas! We would like to take this opportunity to thank you so very much for your program. We manage a Food Pantry at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Aberdeen and cannot express how much we appreciate your donations which allow us to provide ground goose and venison to our clients. It is such a valuable addition to our distributions.

We have a large client base and at every one of our Pantry distributions we hear how much they enjoy and appreciate this meat.

Thank You!

Marty Axlund, Chairman
G.S. Mission Board



The Tolstoy Wesleyan Church Food Pantry would like to thank whoever is responsible for donating the venison. It will be used wisely and will be enjoyed by many. What a wonderful gift and delivered right to our church.

Thanks so much for this blessing.

On behalf of OAHE, Inc., and the 82 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities we serve, I would like to express our heartfelt thanks for your recent donation. The 100+ pounds of ground venison recently donated will go a long way to help our individuals on limited incomes stretch their already tight food dollars. Many love the taste of wild game and look forward to venison whenever it is available.

Please know that your donation will be put to good use. Please pass along our thanks to anyone who helped make this donation possible. We do let the governor and our legislators know throughout the year of the donations made by Sportsmen Against Hunger. It is truly a wonderful program who helps many in need.

Thanks again for your kindness.

Sincerely,
Chuck Quinn
Coordinator, Special Projects

The staff and clients of Wiconi Wawokiya, Inc. would like to thank the Sportsmen Against Hunger organization for your generous donation of deer meat.

The meat will help many families. Wiconi Wawokiya is a domestic violence shelter which houses the victims and their children who will benefit from the meat. We also provide food boxes to families on both the Crow Creek Sioux Reservation and the Lower Brule Reservation. We have dry goods and canned goods but until your donation of meat, we did not have meat to put in the boxes so the families could have a complete meal. Your donation will impact many, many families in a good way.

Sincerely,
Lisa Heth, Executive Director
Wiconi Wawokiya, Inc.



The Bowdle Food Pantry would like to thank you for your generous donation of ground venison to our pantry. Our clients that use the food pantry really appreciate the fresh meat since we really never have meats in the pantry.

Thank you again for your kindness!

Bowdle Food Pantry



WOW!! Thank you for the goose meat. We had a lady come in today. She really loved it. We greatly appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness in remembering the Tri-County Good Samaritan Food Pantry. So far we heard of people using it for slopping joes and chili. Hopefully we will hear more ideas on how to fix it.

May the Lord bless you.
