Get involved

Donate time

Our seven FISH Food Banks are run mainly by volunteers, and we always need more help. Volunteers are needed every day except Sunday, evenings also. Consider volunteering as a group with family, friends or co-workers. Need community service hours for school? Volunteer with us!

Donate non-perishable food

Plan a food drive in your school, workplace, neighborhood, church or organization. We can provide you with materials or ideas. Here's a flyer to get you started. We’ll even arrange to pick up the food, or you can take your donation to the nearest food bank.

Donate produce

Got a green thumb? Plant an extra row in your garden and donate the produce to hungry families at the nearest FISH Food Bank.

Community support makes our work possible. To learn more about any of these donation opportunities please call the FISH Food Banks administrative office at 253-383-3164 or e-mail us.
