About this organization
Mission
Herndon-Reston Fish, Inc. (Fish) is a nonsectarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing 'Friendly Instant Sympathetic Help' to local residents in short-term crises. Fish provides emergency financial assistance to people in all demographics in predominantly extremely low-income levels. Fish responds to requests for rent, utilities, critical dental and medical care / prescriptions, household items, and other short-term emergency needs. Every year, Fish volunteers and a small staff respond immediately to prevent a crisis situation from becoming an escalating and costly problem. As first responders, we stop evictions, utility shut-offs, and other destabilizing actions.
About
