Fish Fish and More Fish!

The Juneau Mendenhall Flying Lions Club found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.... The rainbow being the Alaska Seafood Company in Juneau and the pot of gold being fish and wild game that had been processed but never claimed.

Every year tourists come to Juneau and fish and hunt but often leave their sport-caught fish and wild game behind.

Their loss is the Mendenhall Flying Lions gain.

This season we received 40 cases of canned fish and approximately 1,500 pounds of frozen fish and wild game that was re-distributed to food pantries around town.

Recipients of our distribution included Southeast Alaska Food Bank, Helping Hands food pantry, The Glory Hole (kitchen for the homeless), and Shepherd of the Valley Church food pantry.

For the past eight weeks, two Lions would load up frozen fish and deliver it in time for that week's pantry hours.

Thank you Lions Tom Dawson and Hari Dev Khalsa for your dedication and efforts to feed the hungry.  #Lions100, Feeding the Hungry

We Serve!
