Market Pizza has donated the proceeds from the Hunters Helping the Hungry (HHH) fundraiser held in January.
The one day event was extended this year through the entire month and into February due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The funds raised this year will provide a source of protein for 2,000 families and we could not (have) accomplished this if it were not for our customers,” said owner Megan Jones-Holt.
This is the fifth year HHH and Market Pizza have teamed up, with funds raised exceeding well over 15,000 meals just by adventurous foodies coming out to try something different.
Hunters Helping the Hungry- HHH, a not-for-profit organization, donates venison from local hunters to statewide food pantries. The funds raised go toward the organization’s expense of meat processing through approved butchers by the State of N.J. Health Department. This event is supported by the N.J. Division of Fish and Wildlife.
To support the organization, donations can be made through the website huntershelpingthehungry.org.
