The FISH
Food Bank Building Project has been building more and more momentum.
More than 300 friends and neighbors have made donations
ranging in size from $10 to $100,000 to the FISH Building project so
far. Combining these
donations with some smaller grants, we have raised more than
$445,000 so far. The
total project cost is approximately $1.1 million.
Our first big milestone is 50% of the total project costs, or
$550,000. Once we reach
that goal we can start to leverage larger grants.
We are
asking for your help to reach this important milestone.
But, we are willing to give you something in return – a night
of great music, dancing, and socializing!!

Historian Volunteer Opportunity: We were recently given some very old records dating back to the beginning of FISH Food Bank. The Fish Food Bank Committee has decided it would be great to have someone be our historian using these old records. If you are interested in volunteering to take this on, please contact a Fish representative at FISHinfo@gorge.net.
