A WORD FROM WALLY I know that one of the most valuable assets of this ministry is the 100’s of volunteers who show up every week to interview families, to help sort food, to deliver food, help to distribute food resources during the holidays, load and unload trucks of food supplies and care about families in need. Without these hardworking, dedicated and selfless volunteers the hurting and struggling families in this county would go without and FISH would not have the impact it does today. We invite you to partner with us and invest in the lives of the families that we serve and help to change the community where we live.

If you are interested in volunteering click on the Volunteer Application link, complete the application and drop it off at our offices located at 2805 King Street, Greenville. Wally Jeffers |
