F.I.S.H. continues to support community, recovery
More than two years after Hurricane Ian struck Sanibel and Captiva, F.I.S.H. of Sanibel-Captiva reported that it remains a steadfast force in the community’s recovery. From immediate disaster relief to long-term support, it has continually adapted its services to meet the evolving needs of residents, workers and visitors.
“We’re so grateful to have stood by our community when they needed us most,” Executive Director Maria Espinoza said. “Even two years later, many are still on the journey to rebuild their lives. Our commitment is steady, and we continue to adapt to the needs of our residents and workforce.”
F.I.S.H. continues to operate its “Blue Skies” programs for ongoing services, such as food programs, senior support, financial assistance and education, while continuing its “Grey Skies” programs assistance for disaster aid and long-term recovery, including serving as a lead agency for the United Way’s Resiliency Hubs network.
“Our work is far from over. We will continue to serve and strengthen our community, always striving for a more resilient Sanibel and Captiva,” she said. “If there’s one thing we know about our island community in the wake of Hurricane Ian, it’s this: We are stronger than the storm.”
