The Story
Our board members, staff, and volunteers work throughout the year to serve clients in need of food assistance throughout Hood River County and Mosier. We'd like to share their stories - and hope you'll consider joining us as a volunteer. If you're curious, learn more about the FISH history in the county's communities.
