FISH Food Bank of Hood River County is gearing up for its biggest time of year to receive donations. Marianne Durkan of FISH says once again the need is great, with the food bank helping many area families make ends meet, and the numbers of people who are coming for help are not diminishing. Local supermarkets will have bags of food available for purchase that will go to FISH Food Bank, and Hood River Valley High School’s annual food drive will be taking place in early December. Those who would like to make a monetary contribution can do so by going on-line to fish-food-bank.com.
