FISH is participating in Giving Tuesday next Tuesday, December 1st alongside thousands of worthy nonprofits around the world.

Counting down to Giving Tuesday, we are sharing stories of what FISH, with the help of our donors and volunteers, does in our community.

Tina told us, "This program has literally saved our family, due to a serious illness and only one income, we are struggling to make ends meet. FISH has made it possible for my family to have food and for me to be able to purchase my medications."

For most of us, we will not have to make the choice to either feed our family or purchase necessary medications but there are many of our neighbors who are facing these difficult choices.

Seniors on our Senior Nutrition and Meals on Wheels program are provided meals at no cost to them. Children are invited to eat free all summer at our Picnic in the Park program. In partnership with local churches children at risk for food insecurity are given Weekend Nutrition packs so they won't go hungry when school is out. Families, seniors, veterans, disabled, and struggling neighbors visit our pantry twice a month and take home almost 100 pounds of fresh, frozen and shelf-stable foods.

FISH is enrolling record neighbors of new clients every week. Last week 68 new, first-time clients, received food from the pantry. Over 160 families have submitted applications for our Adopt-a-Family/Adopt-a-Senior program. We are giving out 360 turkeys leading up to Thanksgiving. Every day, FISH provides 2 meals for each Cold Weather Shelter guest, providing nutrition and warmth on these cold winter nights. The need is greater than ever.

We humbly ask you to consider Giving Early or giving on Giving Tuesday to FISH so we can continue to provide hope and nourishment to our neighbors.
