According to Dianne Higgins, president of FISH (Fellow Islanders Sending Help), the very difficulties presented by year 2020 were in part responsible for the connectivity of the organization.
“This year it was outstanding,” Higgins said of the various partnerships in events, “particularly with our Basket Brigades. Certainly people gave us nice donations throughout the year but at the school Clothes for Kids and especially at Christmastime it was amazing.”
Higgins said the Basket Brigade committee, to the best of her knowledge, did not have to buy one toy for the 238 children, and 92 families they were able to serve this past Christmas. There were also roughly a dozen seniors who participated.
