Talk about a bountiful harvest! Our community has been sharing the goodness of the season, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

A HUGE shout-out to Farmer Sid, who hand-loaded 1,500 pounds of squash and pumpkins into his truck and drove them straight to FISH Food Bank! He’s been doing this for years, and his continued generosity makes a real difference for our neighbors.

And to everyone who has shared fresh fruits and vegetables from your own gardens: THANK YOU! Whether it’s a truckload or a basketful, every donation helps put fresh, nutritious food on our neighbors’ tables.

100 Years of the Bridge of the Gods — What a Celebration!

FISH Food Bank was thrilled to be part of the Bridge of the Gods Centennial Celebration in Cascade Locks on September 19! What a perfect fall day to celebrate 100 years of this iconic bridge and a community that knows how to come together.

Araceli was there representing FISH, while Director Jacqueline and volunteer Jen enjoyed a free ride on the Sternwheeler!

And the celebration brought a little extra goodness our way! Thanks to the generosity of this amazing community, FISH received 100 pounds of shelf-stable food and more than $400 in cash donations!

A huge THANK YOU to the Port of Cascade Locks and all the volunteers who made this wonderful day possible. Here's to 100 years of connection — and to neighbors helping neighbors for many years to come!

🍎 When the crate is too deep to reach from the outside, you send Ellie in! 😂

Ellie found the most back-saving way to unload a giant crate of apples—climb right in and hand them to Jen!

Our volunteers are nothing if not creative. And while we’re pretty sure “Apple Crate Unloading” wasn’t in the volunteer handbook… maybe it should be! 🍎
