We were so glad to be able to help out one of our community supporters with a small renovation project last month. Angels in the Attic has been a long-time supporter of FISH and needed a little more room in the Boutique to showcase their ever expanding inventory. With the help of a couple volunteers, we were able to make quick work of opening up the back room and installing a sliding door to save precious floor space.

If you haven’t stopped by to see the new look, the Boutique is open Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

Today we were excited to partner with Citizens Telephone Coop to complete a deck repair for one of our clients. Citizens employees donated their time to replace rotted and damaged boards that were making this deck dangerous for the homeowner to use. Their team also helped with some yard work and home maintenance that our client otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do.

Gathering community support is vital to FISH’s mission to help provide safe, affordable, and accessible housing. Citizens has been a great partner and we appreciate and applaud their dedication to helping members of our community. A big “Thank You” to all who participated and to Jeff Belshan and Rocky Huff for organizing this event.
