| Hunger
in America is a top priority for our nation as food resources
shrink and demand for affordable food increases. Almost
700,000 children went hungry in America sometime in 2007.
Overall, 36.2 million adults and children struggled with hunger in
America during 2007. If you find this figure
alarming, remember that we now have an economic downturn to
add to these figures. Read about what we are doing to
provide high quality seafood to America's hungry and find out
how you can help. |

following note:
Hi Jim & Mary:
Just want
to give you feedback for a recent donation (August) of Pad Thai sauce
from Orca Bay. It was greatly appreciated by the agencies we
serve! In fact, all of it was distributed quickly to more than 50
of our feeding programs. Several, such as Auburn Food Bank,
C.A.M.P. Food Bank, St. Mary's, Bremerton Food Bank, and Federal Way
Food Bank placed several orders for this product. We sure could
distribute more if we had it!

 |
Rubicon
Resources is one of the leading importers and distributors of
sustainable seafood in North America. They recently donated over 44,000
lbs. of frozen shrimp and bread crumbs to SeaShare. These
products were distributed to food banks in San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Chicago and Hillside, NJ. Brandon Christopher, of Rubicon
Resources, offers the following encouragement to other seafood
importers and distributors regarding the call to donate:
"We
heard about the kind and compassionate intentions of SeaShare through
our warehouse distributor, who explained to us that the food products
we donated would go toward a worthy cause like feeding the poor.
Although we provided the seafood, it is SeaShare who deserves the
recognition for their noble deeds. We encourage all food importers and
distributors to help the cause of SeaShare by donating as much food as
they can, to help feed the poor and hungry of our planet - And so
shines a good deed in a weary world."
