BE A HUNGER HERO: EVERY DOLLAR PROVIDES 3 MEALS!

Broomfield FISH (Fellowship In Serving Humanity) is a nonprofit Food and Family Resource Center dedicated to helping neighbors in need.  FISH provides access to nutritious food, emergency financial assistance, and connections to resources that help people meet their basic needs and move toward a more stable future.

 The WHY

Food insecurity in the U.S. has skyrocketed, driven by high housing costs, inflation, and cuts to federal programs like SNAP and Medicaid.  In 2026, FISH served more than 16,000 people, over half of whom were children, and distributed more than 1.8 million pounds of food.

 The HOW

FISH's programs are designed to increase food and nutrition security among low-income neighbors, while also promoting healthy eating habits.  We do this through:

**A self-shop Marketplace that has a variety of healthy foods like fresh produce, meat, eggs, and milk so families can make nutritious meals.  On average, people receive 210 pounds of food per month and they can select what they need with dignity and respect.

**Two community teaching gardens and indoor harvest walls.  Last year volunteers grew more than 4,600 pounds of fresh produce for FISH!

**Nutrition education opportunities that include cooking classes, recipe cards for ingredients in the Marketplace, and "taste it" events with kids' camps and school groups.  

 The IMPACT

Here are what participants are saying about their experience visiting FISH:

**I have been receiving help off and on from FISH since my divorce. I am FINALLY at a place where I am stable and I can honestly say, without a doubt that I would not be here without the help and services FISH has provided for myself and my children. Thank you SO very much!

**FISH diminishes the anxiety I feel about finances. I do not need to choose between heat and food because I know food will be provided if necessary.

** I have 2 beautiful boys growing and learning. I don't worry about them getting good snacks and meals. I don't struggle trying to provide food or just going to dollar menu fast foods. It's a blessing and a mental relief.

From our Impact Video: "All the people working are always so friendly and make you feel so comfortable. In a time of need, it's an awesome feeling that you do not have to feel guilty or ashamed to reach out for help. Life can throw you a curve but it's good to know that there is a place you can go.”
