NK Fishline Welcomes Our New Floor Manager: Sean Wescott
• News
We are mere days away from ownership of our new facility – while we are handling the paperwork, there is concurrent effort underway to design and schedule work needed to make the building usable for our food bank. We have a general contractor, but every bit of donated time, expertise or materials we can invite will help our costs go down. But we also expect to pay for some of the work, so if you know of professionals who can offer their services for reduced cost, please let us know of them as well.
So, here’s what we need:
Plumbing Contractor – the highest priority. We need to submit plumbing plans to the City as soon as we are able. If you know of a contractor, please pass this information to us by Monday.
Electrical Contractor – also important but not an urgent timeline. We would like your recommendations as soon as possible, but will accept them as late as next Friday.
Construction Materials – Sinks, faucets, wood, drywall, anything like this would help keep our costs down.
Sweat Equity – Do you want to help remove market carpet and finish the floors? Does it sound like fun to demolish the side building we don’t need anymore? Want to help us move? Would you like to help organize the move? Let us know and we can include you on our project teams.
Email us with questions or if you need clarification. Thank you for your recommendations and for your help. This is a historic moment for Fishline, and I’m so glad we are all a part of it.
Mary Nader,
Executive Director
When entering town from Finn Hill, it’s hard to miss Liberty Bay Auto. Sitting on the right side, it’s cheery sign always shares great messages that make everyone smile. This past few weeks they used their sign space to capture the attention of all those passing to invite others to join them in their Hunger Heroes Mission to “Fill the Truck!” This carefully planned out food drive kicked off our holiday food collection efforts and we couldn’t be more thankful for the result.
For two weeks Liberty Bay Auto not only committed their coveted and high profile sign space, they set up a great display in their showroom, held an after-hours event with Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce, advertised for Fishline on their leaderboard on North Kitsap Herald’s website, and as if that wasn’t enough — they matched all of the food donations that filled their truck, pound for pound! Total delivered to Fishline: 965 lbs!
Thank you Liberty Bay for all your phenomenal efforts as a Hunger Hero! By utilizing all the resources available to you to publicize and promote your food drive event, you’ve set the bar for our Hunger Hero campaign and we have chosen you as NK Fishline’s Community Partner of the Month!
