If you need help, call the

FISH ANSWERING SYSTEM:

4 1 0 - 9 6 4 - 8 6 6 0 

Important Note - if you are calling for assistance, please read all instructions: 

It is FISH policy that our volunteers remain anonymous, and for that reason they may not respond to phones with Caller ID. Please turn it off so that we may return your call.

To turn off Caller ID, press *87, to turn it back on, press *77.  Before dialing, enter code.

We cannot respond to phones with Call Intercept that reject FISH return calls.

The FISH answering system operates WEEKDAYS when volunteers are available; closed on weekends. Our recording will announce volunteer hours for that day.

If a phone volunteer is not available when you call, a message will note the next time a volunteer will be on duty.

You will always reach our answering system when you call our number. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE MESSAGE & FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.

Speaking slowly and clearly, leave a brief message with:

  • your FULL NAME
  • your local PHONE NUMBER - REPEAT TWICE PLEASE!
  • your NEED - or other reason you're calling
  • TIMES/DAYS when you can be reached 

...so that a FISH volunteer can call you back when done working with previous callers.

Per COVID-19 pandemic guidelines, our food delivery procedure has been modified to maximize safety for FISH clients and volunteers. While our pantry facility and food items are sanitized regularly, it is vital that food recipients follow safety recommendations when unpacking their delivery. One source of guidance is Consumer Reports at:

https://www.consumerreports.org/food-shopping/how-to-protect-yourself-from-coronavirus-when-grocery-shopping/

If you're approved for a food delivery, a volunteer will provide food drop off details.
