Emergency Relief from
South to North
Two truckloads of canned
salmon are on the way to Alabama and Missouri for disaster
relief. This represents over 300,000 servings of high
protein salmon in a form that is easy for the food banks
to distribute to disaster victims. SeaShare worked with
Trident Seafoods and Yard Arm Knot to secure this donation.
An additional donation of over 40,000 lbs of Pollock fillets
was also donated by Arctic Fjord, Inc. and sent by SeaShare
to Missouri.
Alaska also received a truckload
of canned salmon that was donated to SeaShare by Yard
Arm Knot. Fairbanks Food Bank received the product and
will be distributing the cans to remote villages along
the Yukon River that are in desperate need of nutritious
seafood. Freight was generously donated by Alaska Marine
Lines and Lynden Freight.
Unsung heroes at Kent Warehouse
and Labeling and Labeling Services Inc. have been working
diligently over the last couple of months to sort, inspect
and in some cases, relabel can after can of salmon for
SeaShare. Over 319,000 lbs. of canned salmon have been
distributed by SeaShare to Feeding America's food bank
network nationwide.
Many thanks to all companies
and individuals involved! The emergency relief project
represents the cooperative efforts of many to achieve
remarkable results.
Take a look at your production
orders. Can you dedicate a portion of a production run
for hunger relief donations? Too small to donate product?
SeaShare also requires funds to offset project expenses.
