Moose meat has traditionally been a staple food in Newfoundland and Labrador, not only because of its delicious taste but also due to its cultural and emotional significance.<\/p>\n
Recently, The Salvation Army in Corner Brook, N.L., received a large donation of moose meat, allowing them to serve over 1,000 meals to clients at their soup kitchen.<\/p>\n
The donation was made possible by local hunters who have brought moose meat to The Salvation Army for the past 17 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u00a0like what The Salvation Army does in the community,\u201d says Major Brian Wheeler, from The Salvation Army in Corner Brook. \u201cThey see that we do good work. They\u2019ve taken very much a liking to our soup kitchen and see that as something valuable to the community, so they want to support it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe folks that come here don\u2019t have an opportunity to get moose meat themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The moose meat is well-liked by the clients. Many of the guests at the soup kitchen would not normally have a chance to enjoy it at home, so being able to eat this during their visits is a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe folks that come here don\u2019t have an opportunity to get moose meat themselves. They are either seniors or low-income individuals, so when they get a chance to have that, it\u2019s a treat,\u201d Major Wheeler adds. \u201cIn addition, moose meat is healthier than other things you can buy in a grocery store. It\u2019s organic, it\u2019s lean so it doesn\u2019t have a lot of fat. It is a very healthy option.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI just want to give a big thank you from The Salvation Army and all our guests enjoying the meals.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The availability of moose meat enables the Army\u2019s kitchen staff to incorporate it into various meals, allowing them to save money for other food items.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt gives us greater flexibility. For anything you would use ground beef or ground pork in, we can use the moose meat as a substitute. And we\u2019re getting the moose meat at no cost. It\u2019s incredible savings,\u201d Major Wheeler says.<\/p>\n
The savings have greatly benefited the soup kitchen, particularly this year when demand for services has increased. Major Wheeler says they have seen a 10 percent rise in the number of guests, which he attributes to the high cost of groceries.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to give a big thank you from The Salvation Army and all our guests enjoying the meals. This is a great encouragement to our volunteers to see that type of support that allows them to make some great meals.\u201d<\/p>\n
