GF Strategies President Greg Flakus has agreed to lead the fundraising for FISH of VAncouver, WAshington, one of the largest food pantry locations in the company’s home town, Vancouver, WAshington. “We are excited to work with a dedicated group of volunteers to help them raise the $500,000 in funds that will allow them to upgrade and move to their new building” said Flakus.
FISH has served hungry families for over 45 years, mostly from a small 1200 foot space at the side of a local church. The new pantry, which FIsh purchased using a generous state grant, will allow them to move to a much larger 40,000 square foot building just two blocks from their current location.
GF Strategies was part of an earlier capital campaign that allowed the construction of a new County Food Bank Distribution Center that was completed at the end of 2012.
