In Anchorage, F.I.S.H.
stands for "Fellowship in Serving Humanity." F.I.S.H. is a volunteer group of
Anchorage residents who provide and deliver emergency food to people and
families in need, without bureaucratic hassle, red tape, and means testing. In
short, we're just neighbors helping neighbors.

volunteers answer phones, buy and collect, repackage, and deliver food.

Alaska, which helps to supply our pantry.
