Sunrise Presbyterian Church

The FISH program in Great Falls is a non-profit program of thirteen local churches that help people in their time of need. Donations of food, money, and supplies are brought to the Great Falls Community Food Bank at 1620 12th Ave. North, Great Falls, Mt. 

FISH rents a room at the Food Bank where supplies are stored—either refrigerated or set out on shelves and kept ready for distribution to clients in need. The clients gain eligibility to FISH through Opportunities, Inc. Once they have a referral slip, FISH is open for distribution on weekdays from 9 am to 11 am. Singles and families receive weighed bags of food and supplies, and about 50 families a week take advantage of this service. Deliveries, made by volunteers, are also made to those who are homebound.

FISH is endorsed by the Great Falls Ministerial Association.  All who work for FISH are volunteers.  Most churches in the community are involved and have a representative who attends the monthly board meetings.  It is a very fulfilling way to donate time to a very worthy cause.  Each church is responsible for providing volunteers for one week every three months.  We have done this service for many years. If you want to volunteer, please call the Sunrise front office for more information.

​

There is also a yearly donation-funding event for FISH—the Loaves and Fishes Dinner and Silent Auction.

At Sunrise, a special thank you to those who volunteer monthly at FISH, and our coordinator, Maribeth Doan.
