How we plan to help
- FISH gets tons of food donated every year by big donors
- But most of this food is not healthy, sustainable food
- So they end up buying most of their healthy food through money donations...
- Which is where our donated money will be going towards
- Purchasing in bulk enables the pantry to purchase with 15 cents what the standard family purchases with a dollar
- Even the least significant donations can go a long way
