About us | FISH is an acronym for “Friends In Service of Humanity.” The pantry was started in 1976 in an Episcopal Church after the 1974 F5 tornado that hit the Xenia area. The families who were still trying to rebuild their lives needed food assistance to ease some of their burdens. The pantry remained in the church until 1993, when it moved to the current location in the County Services building on Ledbetter Road. The pantry has stayed at the current address for the past 16 years and was fostered by the county for that time. |
