Nick LeBrun wasn’t the only winner this past week at the MLF Pro Circuit event on the James River in Richmond, Va. After the MLF Festival concluded on Sunday, the live catfish from the Kid’s Fishing Tanks (more than 300 pounds) were donated to the Hunters for the Hungry – Virginia, in partnership with Beacon Hill Church. Hunters for the Hungry – Virginia, a 501(c)(3) charity, has been helping feed those in need since 1991 and have provided more than 29.6 million servings since their program began.
“This donation is such a huge blessing for us,” said Dr. Michael Moore, lead pastor of Hopewell’s Beacon Hill Church. “We have a lot of food-poor in our community, and a lot of needy individuals will benefit from this meat. We’ve got a crew ready to clean these fish, and we’ll package it up and hand them out to people that need it in our community. This fish is going to go a long way to making sure that people can eat today and we are very grateful.”
