The Hunters Sharing The Harvest (HSH) is Pennsylvania's charitable venison donation program for hunters who share their extra venison via a statewide network of participating butchers to Food Banks across Pennsylvania. HSH participating butchers, who are paid for their services through monetary donations, coordinate the meat deliveries and work with local food banks. The food banks redistribute the venison to more than 4,000 local food assistance provider organizations such as food pantries, missions, homeless shelters, Salvation Army facilities and churches, as well as needy families. HSH provides an excess of 750,000 meals annually to help feed the hungry.
LONESOME RIVER BAND is celebrating their 30th anniversary with three 2012 album releases, CHRONOLOGY VOLUMES ONE - THREE on Nashville's Rural Rhythm Records.
