History

Hunters’ Harvest began as a loose association of hunters who were members of The Get Together in February 2005.  Their purpose was to encourage hunters to donate fish and game to Get Together Partner Ministries feeding the hungry. 

In  2006, a committee was formed to explore ways to expand the ministry and provide more fish and game to these organizations.  To date, Hunters’ Harvest has provided in excess of 54,000 pounds of fish and game to our Partner Ministries through:

• A partnership with Pacto con Dios, a ministry in San Marcos, TX.  Executive Director, Joe Lee, works in game management and processes game at his facility for the purpose of feeding the hungry and sharing the Gospel.  Men from Victory Home were trained in meat cutting and processing at the Pacto con Dios facility.
   
• A contract with the Harris County Flood Control District to rid county property of feral hogs.  Hog hunters were hired to do this job and donated half of what was harvested to ministries served by The Get Together
   
• Clean Out Your Freezer Day events, which have yielded 9,500 lbs. of fish and game donations.

• Texas Dog Hunters’ Association/Hunters’ Harvest Hog Hunt Contest  which yielded 10,000 lbs. of meat in 2008.
• Partnership with Pete’s Fine Meats and Midway Meat Market who provide processing and storage of Hunters’ Harvest donations at no charge.

• Publicity through news media, website, e-newsletter and exposure at Hunting Shows throughout Texas.
