Supporting the Gloucester Fishing Community and the Families of the Lily Jean's Crew
In the wake of the tragic loss of the F/V Lily Jean and her seven crew members, many have asked how they can help. Here are two verified, secure options that are available for those looking to support families and the Gloucester fishing community.
The F/V Lily Jean Fund was established to provide direct financial assistance to the families impacted by this tragedy. The fund accepts tax-deductible contributions and will distribute the proceeds to the families of the crew, with 100% of donations distributed equally to those families.
For those wishing to support essential, ongoing services, Fishing Partnership Support Services is providing critical assistance including grief counseling, emergency financial support, health care access, and long-term recovery services for fishing families.
Gloucester has always stood together in moments of profound loss. Thank you to everyone who has shown compassion and generosity during this difficult time.
