What we do.

"I was at my wits end. My husband had been out
of work and got a great job but no paycheck for
two weeks. We have a blended family of 7 kids
and were completely out of milk. I called F.I.S.H.
and those good people were there within the day
to help us over this rough spot."

How F.I.S.H. Works
Answer Phone. When someone calls the F.I.S.H. line, a volunteer gathers information about family size, children’s ages and special dietary needs.   Shop. Volunteer shoppers purchase supplies to provide healthy meals. Food also comes into the F.I.S.H. pantry from food drives and The Food Bank of Alaska.   Pack. Volunteer packers prepare supplies to meet the needs of each family accordingly to pre-set guidelines.   Deliver. Volunteer drivers then deliver the groceries directly to the family the same day they call.
Community Involvement Fundraising. Volunteers organize and coordinate fundraising events and food drives.   Partner Affiliates. Community organizations gather specific foods on regular bases (ie. tuna fish, peanut butter, pasta, powder milk).
