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. 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. Once a week, you may shop for perishable items including fresh produce, dairy, eggs, yogurt, cheese, milk, frozen meats, and bread. Someone else may pick up food for you if you provide your full name and birthday.
For more than 50 years, FISH has provided food so that no one goes hungry. FISH of Vancouver started more than 50 years ago when the urgent need for food and community spirit and will came together. We operated from a garage then a rented church space staffed entirely by volunteers. We now have a full-time staff of six, hundreds of volunteers and serve thousands of individuals each year from our own large food pantry and warehouse at 906 Harney Street in downtown Vancouver.
