Pine Island FISH was honored with a $3,000 grant from the Matlacha Hookers at a gathering at the American Legion on November 13th. FISH President Jim Wentz, pictured at the far right, above, accepted the grant on behalf of our organization. We are extremely grateful to the Hookers for their long-standing support. Their generosity continues to enable us to make a difference in the lives of many in the Matlacha and Pine Island Communities as recovery continues.
This year we are returning to the Giving Tree model, where those wishing to provide gifts can select an "ornament gift wish" from trees placed throughout Greater Pine Island. Gifts will be distributed to registered families on December 16th at the Fishers of Men Lutheran Church, 10360 Stringfellow Road, St. James City. While the deadline for signing up for gifts has passed, there is still time to donate and volunteer. Questions?
