HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) - Elk gumbo, anyone? More than 1 1/2 tons of donated elk meat and venison meant to help feed Hurricane relief workers and victims is arriving this week in Mississippi.
The donations were coordinated by Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry, a Hagerstown-based charity that pays to process and distribute wild game, usually to local food banks and soup kitchens.
"This is a very unusual thing to be sending it across country," Executive Director Rick Wilson said as he watched 907 pounds of ground venison loaded onto a refrigerated semitrailer.
