Your First Visit to FISH of Vancouver
We are open to all Washington State residents in need of food assistance. On your first visit we will ask for your name and birthday, the names and birthdays of everyone in your household, and your address. This information is kept confidential and will never be shared with anyone. For subsequent visits, we will only ask for your name and birthday.
Once a month, you can browse our pantry for nonperishable pantry staples and canned goods. This includes canned fruit and vegetables, canned and boxed soups, pasta, rice and beans, canned meats, shelf-stable drinks, baking supplies, condiments, and snacks. Our options will vary based on our supply of foods.
Once a week, you may shop for perishable items including
fresh produce, dairy products such as eggs, yogurt, or cheese, fresh orshelf-stable milk, mixed frozen meats, and bread, rolls, bagels, and chips. The availability of these items will vary based upon our supply of foods.
You are welcome to have someone else pick-up food if you are unable to visit FISH yourself. Please supply your proxy shopper with your full name and birthday, and let them know if you have shopped at FISH before or are a new client.
Our goal is to provide supplemental food for your family to feel secure and nourished for the week.
