The Skagit-Island Counties Builders Association delivered 65 cases of frozen chickens to the Good Cheer Food Bank last month and we wanted to thank them once again. The association has been providing frozen chickens or cash contributions to be used for the purchase of chickens since 1998. They have been a constant source of support to the food banks of Skagit and Island County.
Charles Locke, Owner/Contractor of Back In the Woods Works, delivering 65 cases of frozen chicken from the SICBA.
In an interview with the Whidbey Examiner SICBA Executive Officer Wayne Crider said. “The donation is always scheduled for a time of year when the food banks are low on food.” They don’t need it at Christmas time,” he said. “They need it in summer and fall, when protein is hard to come by. Year after year, these are the worst two months of the year,” said Hughes noting that many food banks across the nation experience a similar seasonal lull.
The support provided by the Skagit-Island Counties Builders Association is so representative of the help that we receive from the community and the businesses that support our efforts.
The donations that we received from the Island County Fair were tremendous. Visitors who brought two or more food items to donate were admitted for half price. At the fair 1,328 pounds of food were donated an increase of about 300 pounds from last year.
Thanks to all!
Good Cheer!
