"Long time Alaskan teacher Feen Hallam celebrated her 90th birthday on December 3, 2011, at St. Mary's Episcopal Church. In lieu of gifts, the invitees were encouraged to bring non-perishable foods for the F.I.S.H food pantry. The result was over 150 pounds of food and $90.00 gathered for hungry families in Anchorage. Thank you Feen Hallam!" — from Greg Wilkinson, Feen's son-in-law and F.I.S.H. driver.

"At the Hillside Hiker's Christmas Party, Saturday December 3rd, we collected three big plastic tubs of food gifts: 68 items plus $20.00 cash. These have been delivered to the FISH food pantry (Fellowship in Serving Humanity). Several of our hikers are volunteers for FISH in one capacity or another, and Ruth Benson is the current scheduling coordinator. Thank you one and all for being so generous. Our gifts will be given to many people." — from Jimmie King, Hillside Hikers.

In July, 2011, Credit Union 1 employees in Anchorage collected 2084 pounds of food for F.I.S.H. That's literally one full ton of food that will feed a lot of hungry folks in our community! In addition, Credit Union 1 volunteers came to the FISH pantry and helped to repackage powdered milk, oatmeal and rice. It was a huge help. THANK YOU Credit Union 1 Employees!!

St. Mary's Youth Help FISH
March 2009
The 30 Hour Famine is a world-wide event sponsored by World Vision to empower teens to raise awareness about issues of hunger and to raise money to help fight hunger across the globe. They do this by fasting as a group for 30 hours, during which time the youth learn about issues of hunger, engage in service projects, and also have some fun along the way! The youth of St. Mary’s volunteered during their famine at the F.I.S.H. Food Pantry, helping to clean and organize the stocks on hand, especially the generous amounts of peanut butter donated by St. Mary’s parishioners! Over the last four years, St. Mary’s youth have raised over $11,000 to support World Vision’s relief efforts in places like Ethiopia and Haiti, among many others. To learn more, go to the 30 Hour Famine website at http://www.30hourfamine.org.
