FISH's 24th Annual back to school fair a huge success
A Heartfelt Thanks to All Who Contributed!
Fish's 24th annual fall basket brigade, a back-to-school fair, took place on August 3rd at the Pine Island United Methodist Church. This year 154 children registered for the program and received clothing, gift cards to purchase gym shoes, and other items and information. Many islanders, non-profits, and local businesses sponsored children, generously donated funds and products, and volunteered their time. As Darcy Connor, FISH Basket Brigade chair, stated, “It’s only with the continued generosity of our islanders that we can continue to implement this program, year after year, as a collaborated effort with many of the nonprofits of the island."
