It’s been over a month since Drakes Bay Oyster Company closed, and the workers have not yet received proceeds from an account that holds the money from fundraisers and donations jars since late 2013. But the money is coming soon, said Scott Yancy, a former Drakes Bay employee and one of the two people authorized to move the money. He plans to cut a check for the amount—just over $20,000 he says—to St. Columba’s Church, as soon as he gets word that the church is willing to take it. “I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be 45 days out… When you have this responsibility, you have to make sure you’re being fair: counting everyone, getting pertinent information, the right names, all that kind of stuff. And I work a full-time job… We’re trying to do the best we can.” He said a sizable contribution might come soon, and he believed it made more sense to cut a single check. Once he sends the money over, the church will distribute it. A nonprofit in town, West Marin Community Services, has an account set up for workers and recently distributed money from it—but Mr. Yancy said he wanted to give it to the church instead. Father Weldy would visit the farm “quite a bit… It made sense to me to donate to someone that I’m familiar with… He knows these people,” Mr. Yancy said. Which workers will get the funds? There are two different lists—one from 2012, with 21 names, and another from 2014, with 26. But it will be the church, not him, who decides how to distribute the money.
