CELEBRATed 50 YEARS in 2022! We are resilient!!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; as well as serving area residents (over 1200 annually) as a food pantry, distributing food for nearly 110,000 meals this past year.
2022 - FIFTY Years of Service...
Two opportunities to show your support in Spring 2023! You're invited to join us at "A Tasteful Event" on Wednesday, May 17, 2023, 5 - 7:30pm at the Five Points Art Center in Torrington at 855 University Drive. We'll celebrate food, wine and the spirit of giving - showcasing favorite area restaurants, caterers, food providers and beverage distributors. For tickets on this website go to "special events" or call us at FISH 860-482-7300. We're back! Thank you to all who donated to Connecticut Community Foundation's "Give Local" campaign on April 25 & 26 to support FISH and our work with the homeless and the food insecure. Sponsored as a 36 hour on-line campaign, this fast paced donation campaign, gives a helping hand to many worthy nonprofits in our Greater Waterbury and Litchfield Hills region. We raised nearly $8000 thanks to our donors to support our operations at the FISH Food Pantry and FISH Homeless Shelter! |
