Vancouver, WA — FISH Vancouver received over 30,000 pounds of food and household supplies Thursday from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The donation comes at a time of high need for many individuals and families due to school letting out for the summer. For more than 50 years, FISH Vancouver has provided food to the Clark County community, growing from operating in a garage, then later to a rented church space and now to their own large warehouse in Downtown Vancouver. The organization serves thousands of individuals every year.
“We are grateful to be able to make this donation to FISH, as they do so much to help individuals and families in the Clark County community,” said Ryan LeBaron, Vancouver West Stake President for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “As followers of our Savior Jesus Christ, we are pleased to join FISH in striving to live the Second Great Commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves. We are thankful for generous donations from members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who made this particular donation possible, and for other friends and neighbors who also give of themselves to lift up those in need. We hope and pray that the food and items in this donation will sustain those who need it most.”
