What is FISH?

The name FISH is derived from a Biblical-day symbol of the fish which was sometimes used as a sign of distress, a plea for help from one's neighbor:


FISH of Knox County is an all-volunteer organization, with no paid staff, founded in 1972, which attempts to help those in emergency and distress situations in an unselfish, non-judgmental and giving way. FISH is non-denominational. FISH helps anyone of any race or creed.

Working daily through thirty-seven community churches and the FISH Hospitality Pantries, the FISH volunteers responded to some 82,000 calls for help during the last year. Volunteers who work in the collaborative organization are dedicated to showing God's love to our community by helping those who are in need.
