Resiliency Hub

services

for disaster relief

Living in an island community provides unique blessings, as well as unique challenges. While we enjoy blue skies most of the time, gray skies—including natural or human-caused disasters—are a very real threat and can have a devastating and isolating impact on our islands. FISH has long been a leader in providing help and resources, including our Hurricane Preparedness program. But in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, FISH has raised the bar on what “neighbors helping neighbors” looks like, while navigating and leading the ongoing and complex process of long term recovery. As the clouds continue to part, FISH has proudly emerged a recognized disaster recovery agent—a Resiliency Hub.

disaster recovery agent—an extension of our helping hands pillar

As a lead agency, proud partner, and one of 17 Resiliency Hubs located across Lee, Hendry and Glades counties, FISH works with United Way and a network of agencies to offer crucial day-to-day services, including our 4 pillar programs. When disasters strike, Hubs can quickly pivot to provide emergency items including food, water, tarps and other vital resources. Island neighbors can call FISH and access assistance directly and through the larger network.
