PHX - 2019 Jan 31 - Deer Hunt2.jpgIn an effort to decrease the deer population on institutional grounds, SCI Phoenix hosted three successful deer hunts, two of which were open to the public.

A lottery was conducted and those individuals who were selected were asked to bring canned goods or non-perishable items on the morning of their scheduled hunt. On behalf of SCI Phoenix and the generosity of the public, more than 2,000 pounds of food was donated to the Philabundance Organization on Jan. 31. The Philabundance Organization provides food to 90,000 individuals each week and is a proud member of Feeding America, a nationwide network of food banks leading the fight against hunger in the United States.
