This is an important time of year for Hood River’s FISH Food Bank.  FISH helps provide food to about 400 families a month, and a large portion of their donations come between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.  FISH’s Marianne Durkan notes they receive tremendous support from the community and local grocery outlets, and Hood River Valley High School’s annual canned food drive is underway.  Donations to the Hood River Valley High School effort, both cans of food and monetary donations, can be taken to the school.  In addition, donations can be made to FISH through its website, FISH-Food-Bank-com.  One dollar can pay for five cans of food.
