Hamilton County Harvest (HCH) Food Bank is sponsoring its fourth year of Meating the Need, a partnership between the Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank and 4-H beef, dairy and swine project members.
HCH will purchase seven beef and dairy cattle and seven swine at the Hamilton County 4-H Livestock Auction, which takes place on July 23. In the past three years, 9,306 pounds of meat has been distributed to food pantries in Hamilton County. This has provided the protein requirements for 37,224 meals.
This year there are 13 4-H members who will sell their livestock to benefit Meating the Need.

Any donation amount is appreciated; however, if you donate over $125 by July 13, you will be recognized on the 4-H barn banners and in the local press releases.
