Q. How has COVID-19 impacted your nonprofit?
A. COVID-19 has impacted by not allowing us to host our free veterans, family, and kids fishing events. When we have events we are able to seek donations for Fin Addict Angler Foundation where we are 100% volunteers but have an overhead to include an office and storage facility for all of our equipment and trailer. So financially we need help. As all of our events from March, April and May have been rescheduled for later dates in June, July - Oct. We are seeking a bigger plan to included virtual education but need equipment and some guidance to reach the public that way.
Q. Do you need volunteers?
A. Always need volunteers.
Q. What type of donations do you need?
A. Financial, equipment for virtual education and fishing equipment.
Q. How can the community help?
A. Please pass the word about Fin Addict Angler Foundation cause we are scheduled to host an event on the San Antonio River, June 6 Acequia Park if the ban is lifted by then.
