Announcing “Venison for Veterans”
Assemblyman Robert Smullen (R,C,I,SAM-Meco) is partnering with the Fulton County Office For The Aging, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office and other local community groups to help provide “Venison For Veterans” in need. Smullen is eager to help expand this community based program into Fulton County, which is well known for its many hunters and game clubs.
“I believe partnering with local hunters, fish and game clubs, and local businesses to donate venison is a simple but impactful way we can give back to members of our community,” Smullen said. “Through our partnership with the Fulton County Office For the Aging and the Sheriff’s Department, we are hoping that hunters interested in sharing some of their hard earned bounty with those in need will consider donating.”
The donated game will be kept in freezer storage through a partnership with the Kingsboro Lumber Company, and donations will be accepted throughout January and February. Veterans and Seniors who would like to receive venison should call the Office For the Aging at (518) 736-5650 and leave their name, address and phone number.Volunteers will arrange for delivery scheduled for the week of March 15, 2022.
“I’m looking forward to helping those who can donate to connect with those in need. I am grateful to live in a community of volunteers, and encourage members of the hunting community do the same,” Smullen concluded.
