For more than forty years Nourish (formerly FISH Food Banks) has provided a lifeline of support to its clients. Our mission is to provide nutritious food and support services to people in need with compassion, dignity and respect. Nourish lives out this mission by allowing each one of the 60,000+ people served in 2017 to shop for his or her own food with dignity. Each food bank is set up like a grocery store, lined with pasta and fresh produce. The staff and volunteers show respect for a client's privacy by not asking too many invasive questions. And people experience compassion by knowing that no one will be turned away hungry.
