Terry Shaff was a beloved and long-serving board member at SeaShare, President and CEO of the seafood company UniSea, and a former chairman of the Pacific Seafood Processors Association. When Terry passed away suddenly in late 2014, the seafood industry and community came together to recognize Terry's leadership, his generosity, and his commitment to SeaShare's mission to improve nutrition for the people served by food banks and feeding centers.
Terry's peers and friends have honored his memory through the establishment of the Terry Shaff Memorial Fund. Through this fund, SeaShare has invested over $200,000 in buying freezers and building long-term partnerships in hubs that distribute seafood to remote villages. To date, SeaShare has installed freezers in Dillingham, St. Paul, Bethel, Kodiak, and Juneau. These freezers enable our seafood donations to reach 34 rural villages, where seafood has special dietary and cultural significance, yet many people have limited access to its myriad nutritional and health benefits. We think Terry would be proud of this project, and we are so thankful to everyone who has supported this work in his honor.
