Hunters for the Hungry will host its annual "Clean Out Your Freezer Day" to benefit the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank on Sunday, Sept. 28 from 1 to 4 p.m.

In conjunction with Hunter Action Month, sportsmen are encouraged to clean out their freezers and share their leftover bounty with the hungry. Donations will be distributed directly to those in need to more than 125 member agencies in the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank's service area.

In past years, Hunters for the Hungry has collected more than 190,000 pounds of fish, game and other frozen items. "'Clean Out Your Freezer Day,' will enable the Food Bank to distribute frozen fish and game to the thousands of people throughout our 11-parish service area," Michael Manning, president and CEO of the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank said. "The Food Bank is seeking more food than in previous years to provide for the increased need," Manning continued.

Hunters for the Hungry encourages hunters and fisherman to enjoy the plentiful wild game in Louisiana and give back by sharing frozen fish and game with the hungry through programs such as "Clean Out Your Freezer Day" and "Donate A Deer." "Clean Out Your Freezer Day" gives sportsmen an excellent opportunity to put their leftover fish and game to good use when preparing for the upcoming hunting season. Local sportsmen are encouraged to deliver their frozen product to the listed donation sites.
