<div align='center'>Hunters encouraged to help our nation's hungry[/i]</div>
<div align=\'left\'>FAIRFAX, VA – Hunters who wish to share their game with those less privileged may take advantage of NRA's Hunters for the Hungry Clearinghouse—a list of more than 120 game-sharing programs and networks throughout the country. </div>
<div align=\'left\'>Game-sharing programs may be known by different names, but they do basically the same thing--link hunters, meat processors and food banks or charitable organizations that channel meat to the hungry. NRA's clearinghouse makes it easy for hunters to find places to drop all or part of their meat and ensure it is distributed to those who need it. Just think how many people 340,173 pounds of venison will feed, and that's just what one state – Virginia – contributed last year. </div>
<div align=\'left\'>NRA has been involved with Hunters for the Hungry programs since 1991, providing logistical guidance, volunteer recruitment and financial support. Further, The NRA Foundation has distributed $179,399 in grants for Hunters for the Hungry programs since 1990. </div>
<div align=\'left\'><span style="color:#000000">"Whatever we can do to help eliminate even one single person going hungry is a victory," said Bob Davis, manager of NRA's Hunter Services Department. "Our goal is to see that as many hunters as possible take advantage of this program. It's one of the best ways that you as a hunter can give back to your community," added Davis.</span></div>
<div align=\'left\'>Sportsmen can not only donate game meat in their local area, but make financial contributions as well. Donations given to a game-sharing program are used to offset the costs of processing and delivery of game meat in the sportsman's area. To find a game-sharing program in your community, or learn how you can start a program in your area, call NRA's Hunters for the Hungry Clearinghouse at 800-492-HUNT, or log on to www.nrahq.org/hunting/hunterhungry.asp.
