WABASH COUNTY, Ind. – The Board of Director’s of F.I.S.H. of Wabash County has announced that F.I.S.H. will be open every second Saturday of the month, starting on Saturday, Sept. 9.
The hours of operation will be from 4 to 6 p.m. This is on a 6 month trial basis. After the 6 month period, the board will determine if these new Saturday hours will continue.
The board members made this decision after public interest in additional hours besides the current Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. A number of people who are busy during the weekdays have shown interest in volunteering on a weeknight or Saturday hours.
The board members hope these Saturday hours will increase volunteers who currently work during the day and students to be able to volunteer. Also, it will provide additional opportunities for people in need to come to F.I.S.H. Hopefully it will also give others time to drop off food and/or financial donations.
F.I.S.H. is currently feeding approximately (300) families a month, for a total of around (1,000) people a month
