"FISHing" on Friday

It's the 1st of March! 

And this week FISH was packed with tons of wonderful donations from the Knoxville Community. We can't thank everyone enough for supporting us! 

For instance, we were able to give out blueberries and fresh pears which are a rarity at FISH! 

What a Week!

 Yesterday we received a HUGE donation of yogurt from a local wholesale distributer of dairy goods. Boxes and boxes and boxes OH MY! We received more than 400 cases! FISH couldn't be more thankful and appreciative for the support from local distributors. 

In other news.... mark your calendars! The 2nd Saturday in May is the Annual Mail Carriers Food Drive. And that's all from the Pantry this week. Happy Saturday from us here at FISH!

And this was just a few of the many stacks of yogurt boxes!
