FISH

FISH Hospitality Program, part of Family Promise (also known as Interfaith Hospitality Network), seeks to provide temporary housing to the situationally homeless in our area through affiliations with local churches. While situating the families in safe, caring environments where they can sleep, eat and enjoy fellowship, FISH also provides assistance to families in their pursuit of sustainable housing and employment by offering adults career counseling from a social worker, and help establishing a financial plan for their future. While in the FISH Hospitality Program, guests are housed, for a week at a time, in local churches.

In pre- pandemic times Trinity was proud and grateful to serve as a host church providing meals, fellowship, and a safe place for families to sleep three times a year. Currently the rotating shelter for FISH is closed down, but we look forward to resuming our participation in the rotating shelter when current social distance restrictions are no longer in effect.

During the pandemic, FHP continues to serve families by providing vouchers for temporary housing, and other support. You can send your donations to FISH Hospitality Program, Inc at PO Box 170, Dunellen, NJ 08812-0170 or donate online at fishhospitality.org.
