UPDATED: With the theme “Opening Your Heart Is The Key To Opening Doors” more than 150 attended a banquet for Friends in Helping Service, better known as FISH, on Thursday at the Carson Nugget. Along with dinner, wine and a silent auction, guests were treated to a video documentary that highlights the Carson City nonprofit agency which has provided food and shelter to those in need for 34 years.
Honorees at the event were State Senator Debbie Smith and former Carson City Supervisor Shelly Aldean.
FISH not only provides food to people in need (both through the dining room and the food bank), it also provides shelter and healthcare. Goals are important to the FISH organization as it continually strives to provide independence for those caught in financial pressures where they find themselves without food and shelter. Last year FISH helped 18,337 people, which included 210,544 meals and 31,108 dining room meals.
The video was produced by Nevada Multimedia Productions, Todd Crowell and Women to Women Nevada.
