                               RESOLUTION


 
Recognizing the establishment of Hunters for the Hungry programs across 
the United States and the contributions of those programs to efforts to 
              decrease hunger and help feed those in need.

Whereas Hunters for the Hungry programs are cooperative efforts among hunters, 
        sportsmen's associations, meat processors, State meat inspectors, and 
        hunger relief organizations to help feed those in need;
Whereas during the past three years Hunters for the Hungry programs have brought 
        hundreds of thousands of pounds of venison to homeless shelters, soup 
        kitchens, and food banks; and
Whereas each year donations have multiplied as Hunters for the Hungry programs 
        continue to feed those in need: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the cooperative efforts of hunters, 
        sportsmen's associations, meat processors, State meat 
        inspectors, and hunger relief organizations to establish 
        Hunters for the Hungry programs across the United States; and
            (2) recognizes the contributions of Hunters for the Hungry 
        programs to efforts to decrease hunger and help feed those in 
        need.
