A Hunger Relief Program
Hunters for the Hungry's mission is three-fold:
- To alleviate hunger and malnutrition in Texas.
- To provide a meaningful outlet for hunters wishing to help their communities.
- To promote stewardship of the environment through sensible wildlife management plans.

Hunters for the Hungry was initiated in 1990 through a collaborative effort among hunger relief agencies, hunters, and state government agencies. In time for the 1991-1992 hunting season, Hunters for the Hungry became a reality with more than 90 meat processors offering their services to the program. Hunters called TACAA's hunger relief hotline to find the nearest participating meat processor or to learn more about the program. TACAA assumed full responsibility of the program in 1998.
As a testament to its continued success, Hunters for the Hungry has donated and distributed over 1.6 million pounds, or 6.5 million servings, of venison to Texans in need. With wild game donations steadily increasing each year, Hunters for the Hungry continues to boost its capacity to supplement the diets of people in need with a nutritious source of protein.

Recipe
Cowboy Grub
Dodd Bowling, Ft. Worth, TX
About 25 years ago, when my kids were picky eaters, I told them I would fix Grub, the kind of food cowboys ate on wagon trains. Well, it worked. In fact, it's still working today. Even though they are all grown up, Grub is still fixed at their homes. I still fix it too, on hunting and fishing trips, and camp outs.
- 1 lb ground beef or venison
- 1 can Ranch Style beans
- 1 can whole kernel corn, drained
- A-1 steak sauce
- Ketchup
- salt and pepper to taste

Brown the meat in a skillet. Pour off excess liquid and return to heat. Add beans corn, catsup, A-1, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir until all ingredients are mixed and hot. Serve with pan-fried potatoes and cornbread
