The Fishin’ Club’s 2014 Holiday Food Drive was a “huge success,” according to a recent press release.

The club donated an assortment of 50 food items, including a turkey and ham, to 54 adults and children from 13 families on South Whidbey.

The club estimates that the assortment should last each family about a week. Fishin’ Club members delivered the items to the families during the week of Christmas.

Donations from club members, guests, benefactors, South Whidbey Lions and Payless Foods made it possible for the Fishin’ Club to purchase just over $2,000 worth of food, the release said.
