LAFAYETTE (AP) — Just in time for hunting season, Lafayette area hunters and sportsmen cleaned out their freezers and donated game and fish to support the Hunters for Hungry food drive. Participants donated more than 6,000 pounds of meat — enough for 18,000 meals — to the annual food drive which supports the Outreach Center’s efforts to provide meals for homeless and impoverished community members. The five-hour event held at four locations throughout the Acadiana region has been hosted every year since 2001. —-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
