Our Mission at FISH NWCT

​The mission of FISH NWCT is to provide the most basic of human needs - food, shelter and hope.
Since opening its doors in 1972, FISH has evolved into our region's largest emergency homeless shelter (35 beds) in the NWCT corner, providing families, individuals and veterans a safe and secure haven as they await permanent supportive housing; serving as a food pantry for area residents. We served over 2,600 people in the last year and distributed food for more than 182,000 meals.
