Huntin’ With Jacob is a nonprofit that aims to serve families in the community who’ve dealt with hardships and tragedies brought on by mental health struggles or other life-altering events. Howes was a Dunkirk native who passed away at the age of 19. Loved ones formed the organization to help those in need, using the restorative power of the great outdoors.
In addition to their scholarships, Huntin’ With Jacob offers events throughout the year, including a recent youth hunting gear clothing swap. You can see their full list of events and learn more about the organization on their website.
