FISH reduces hunger in our community and
responds with compassion to people in crisis.

What's new:

The FISH of Roseburg recently received two grant awards for its children’s medication assistance program. This program by The FISH provides financial assistance for covering the cost of medicine that is prescribed by medical practitioners for children of low-income households in Douglas County. The grants were $5,000 from the Douglas Community Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation, and $7,200 from the Mercy Foundation of Roseburg. These grants allow The FISH to continue its partnership with Umpqua Community Health Center, other local medical providers, and local pharmacies to pay for prescribed medicine for treatment of acute illness of children from low-income households.
