A BEEF WITH HUNGER

A Beef with Hunger Society raises beef and purchases farmed goods that are then donated to the food bank and non-profit meal providers including community schools.

Below are some pictures of A Beef With Hunger livestock. The cows are named Food 1 and Food 2 (left), Food 3 and Food 4 (middle)–we are up to Food 25! All Society meat is for non-profit meal providers and the HIV and Hepatitis C Food Bank.
