Chester/Newell FISH Foundation

10/29/2025

Several people have reached out to ask us about donating to FISH. Our food pantry is always appreciative of donations from the community. We are happy to receive any nonperishable items, personal hygiene products, and/or cleaning supplies. We also have a freezer and can take donations of frozen items as well. Please see the attached list of suggested items. Donations may be dropped off during our normal distribution hours (Saturdays 9:30-10:30 am), or you can call us at 330-385-0445 to arrange an alternate drop-off time. Thank you for your generosity! ❤️

Thank you to the Chester Hometown Christmas committee for hosting a Chinese auction to raise money for our food pantry. Pictured is Chester/Newell FISH treasurer, Jean Chaney, accepting a $1300 donation from Chester Hometown Christmas committee member, Kristi O’Rourke. We are so appreciative of the kindness shown by our community ❤️
