As you buy your 2007 Michigan Fishing License don't forget to donate a couple of dollars at the time of purchase to Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger. It's a great way to help those in need while creating a positive image for outdoorsmen.
For those that don't know, when you purchase your hunting & fishing licenses, either online or at a license dealer, you have the opportunity to donate to this fund. If the clerk does not ask you, feel free to tell them you'd like to donate, even a dollar will help. We have made the commitment to use 100% of these donations directly for feeding Michigan's needy, and will cover our operating cost by other means.
We have been currently averaging about 50,000 pounds of wild game each year providing 200,000 meals. With this funding we should be able to increase that number exponentially.
Over 1 million different people seek food assistance - 1 in 10 people in our state. Of these:
42% are elderly or children
45% live in rural or suburban areas
44% are white, 46% African American and 7% are Hispanic
At least 40% have to choose between food and medicine, food and utilities, and/or food and housing, within their household budgets.
Please help us continue to help Michigan's needy, and portray sportsmen in a positive light by donating to the Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger.
