Who We Are
Fish is a non-profit agency that provides short-term emergency assistance such as food, lodging, and clothing to persons living in the area of Highland Springs, Varina, and Sandston, the area east and south of Mechanicsville Turnpike. A clothes closet is offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 8:00 am-2:00 pm, by appointment. Clients may take as many items as needed.
FISH enables churches to pool resources and energy. With a single call, you can refer the needy to someone who can assist, routing requests through a single clearinghouse database. The FISH movement in the United States has grown from 200 groups in 1968 to over 2000 today. Each FISH group is independent and all-volunteer, but all carry the same basic Christian message to "help thy neighbor".
