Bank of the Islands recently donated $800 to F.I.S.H. of Sanibel-Captiva through its “We Love Our Islands” program, as chosen by program winners and longtime customers Cathy and Mick Hanratty.

This donation raises the total given through Bank of the Islands’ “We Love Our Islands” program to $156,800. It also marks the eleventh donation since the Bank doubled its weekly outlay for the program.

“We’re pleased Cathy and Mick directed our latest donation to F.I.S.H.,” said Bank President Robbie Roepstorff.

“Their food pantry and social services provide an essential safety net for those in need. This donation highlights these services and our appreciation for being your island bank,” she said.

We invite all islanders to stop by our Sanibel or Captiva offices today to pick up your vehicle decal and ask about the “We Love Our Islands” program. Join us, get involved, and see how you and your favorite charity could be our next lucky winners—don’t miss your chance!
