GUN OWNERS CARE® ABOUT THEIR COMMUNITIES
From hunters donating their harvests to local food banks, law enforcement and concealed carriers being heroes in their communities, to gun clubs and firearms business owners holding local food and blood drives, to groups organizing fundraisers to benefit those in need, gun owners and the firearms industry are bettering our communities every day.
Here just a few ways gun owners are making a difference:
Kids & Clays Foundation®
The Kids & Clays Foundation is a community of shooting sports enthusiasts committed to supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities® and improving the lives of children and their families. By partnering with sponsors and shooters, Kids & Clays generates funds to help support the operating needs of Ronald McDonald Houses across the nation.
Project ChildSafe® Communities
Through NSSF's Project ChildSafe, community partners foster a culture of firearms safety that helps prevent firearms accidents, theft and misuse. Over the last few years, we have seen our partners around the country take even more steps to advocate for safe firearms storage. Our partners include local organizations representing conservation groups, mental health and suicide prevention advocates, veterans, faith groups, firearms retailers and ranges, hunting and shooting groups and law enforcement, among others.
Hunters Feed Those In Need
For food banks nationwide, acquiring protein is a challenge because of the high cost of meat. Fortunately during hunting season, hunters help make up the shortfall with generous donations of protein-rich, low-fat venison that provide 11 million meals annually to the less fortunate.
