Bank of the Islands makes $2500 Thanksgiving Donation to F.I.S.H.

Bank of the Islands President Robbie Roepstorff has announced its latest support of F.I.S.H. of San-Cap to mark the Thanksgiving holiday.

In the weeks before the holiday, Bank customers and Sanibel-Captiva neighbors were encouraged to stop by the Bank’s Sanibel lobby with canned food and dry goods for island neighbors in need. In recognition of their food pantry donations, the first 25 donors to the F.I.S.H. food basket were each honored with a $100 Bank donation made in their names.

F.I.S.H. Executive Director Maria Espinoza accepted the Bank’s $2,500.00 donation from Bank of the Islands’ VP David Lowden and Concierge Kelsey Hamilton.

“This was such a fun way to support the social service work F.I.S.H. provides and thank those who help keep its food pantry full, during the holidays and throughout the year,” said Roepstorff. “It has meant so much over many years to have a F.I.S.H. donation basket in our lobby.”

Bank customers and other islanders dropping off their donations to the F.I.S.H. food pantry also shared in light refreshments and neighborly conversation in the Bank of the Islands lobby.
