Mission 

FISH, Inc. of Williamsburg, Virginia, is an all-volunteer not-for-profit agency providing help to residents of the greater Williamsburg area. FISH depends entirely upon a caring community for food, clothing, volunteers and financial donations, in order to serve our neighbors in need. While FISH was founded by local religious organizations, FISH does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender or national origin.

During 2017, FISH provided food equivalent to over 165,000 meals; 9,674 outfits of clothing; and housewares to 574 homes. In 2017, 343 households asked for assistance from FISH for the first time. Overall, our volunteers served 4,321 requests for assistance in 2017. Click here for the latest FISH Volunteer Newsletter.
