What's in the box?
Posted on August 31, 2017
It's a freezer! And it's currently en route to tiny St. Paul Island, in the Bering Sea. We donated 900 pounds of halibut for people struggling with hunger on St. Paul earlier this year. We realized that if SeaShare is going to make more regular donations in St. Paul, where the needs are great, the community needs more freezer space. Thanks to the Terry Shaff Memorial Fund, we're sending this new three door reach-in freezer to the Aleut Community of St. Paul Island (ACSPI), with transportation from Seattle donated by Coastal Transportation. ACSPI will install the freezer in their food bank, and will use it to store future seafood donations and other frozen foods.
