Sorry if this is in the wrong area, not sure if it fits under hunting or general.

I am trying to organize a food drive for victims of Sandy along the Delaware bay coast. I have heard of issues with other charity organizations doing the same or similar drives. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of how to go about this? My wife works as a counselor for Inspira Health and they have grants to set up several commercial freezers in the area to store the game/fish as a food bank for the residents who are still effected by the storm. If you familiar with areas like Money Island, Fortescue, Port Norris, Bivalve, Gandys Beach you understand what these people are going through.

 

If I were you, I would reach out to Hunters Helping the Hungry and see if you can't meet with them to at least determine the regulatory hoops they have had to jump through and maybe gain some understanding from their work in place.

On another note, Deer season is over until September, so this would probably not be the best time to begin collecting deer meat. But perfect timing for fishing since that's about to go into full swing very soon.

NJ Hunter forum would be a great start.

^^^solid advice. I know one guy from the Federation of sportsmen named Keith. He is from the Warren county chapter and is heavily involved in hunters helping the hungry organization. I will try and locate his contact information for you. Maybe he can help, or steer you towards someone that can. I'm an officer in the Sussex county chapter of the Federation. Our next meeting is next Wednesday I will bring this up at the meeting, see if anyone has any ideas, or knows anyone that may be able to help.
