Gold River, B.C. (August 30, 2017) — Skuna Bay, Vancouver Island Craft Raised Salmon is donating $10,000 to the American Red Cross in support of those affected by Hurricane Harvey. In addition, we will accrue up to $0.50/lb on sales this week to put towards other future support of Hurricane Harvey relief. We ask those in the seafood industry including our distributor partners, customers and even competitors to come together in support of relief efforts and to match our support for those in need.

“Along with millions of others we were caught up in the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey this past weekend. We at Skuna Bay feel that as farmers with customers in the great state of Texas, we need to help all those in need due to the impact of Harvey.” said Rocky Boschman, Head Craftsman Farmer. “Thousands of people throughout Houston and along the Gulf Coast have been displaced and much help will be needed in the coming days and weeks. We hope to play a small part in assisting those on the frontlines by donating to the American Red Cross Relief Fund for Hurricane Harvey.”
