F.I.S.H. of San-Cap welcomes back seasonal volunteers
F.I.S.H. of Sanibel-Captiva recently offered a huge and heartfelt “welcome back” to all its seasonal volunteers, who dedicate treasures of time that contribute to the success of F.I.S.H.’s mission.
Officials reported that volunteers are the lifeblood of F.I.S.H., which is why they are so important. They are the heroes who accomplish remarkable feats every day. The volunteers have a real impact on the lives of island neighbors and help to make the community stronger and a better place to live.
“We rely heavily on our volunteer force, and cannot thank each and every one of them enough. Their giving of time and energy toward our many programs and services is a true treasure,” F.I.S.H. President Maggi Feiner said. “The level of caring and compassion from our volunteers is second to none, and we are so very proud to work with them.”
With volunteer help, F.I.S.H. can continue to honor its mission “to lend a helping hand to those that live, work or visit Sanibel & Captiva Islands.” Volunteer hours do not go unnoticed and are celebrated at the F.I.S.H. Annual Meeting and Volunteer Recognition Luncheon, which is set for Feb. 20.
“We are thrilled to see our seasonal volunteers return, and we have lots of areas that can use their assistance. And, we are always looking for additional people who want to volunteer within their community. Even if you have just one hour, once a week, we can find a place for you,” Walk-In Center Manager Maria Espinoza said. “We will train you in your area(s) of interest, and place you with a more seasoned volunteer until you feel comfortable, giving you all the tools you need to be successful. There are always opportunities to become involved with F.I.S.H., from transportation to meal delivery; phone duty to stocking shelves; and much much more. With so many possibilities, everyone can find a good fit.”
