The mission of FISH is to meet our neighbors'​ basic human needs and provide them with the hope and tools to rise out of poverty.

Do you know what it takes to be financially self-sufficient and live in Broomfield? According to the "Self Sufficiency Standard for Colorado 2015"​ from the Colorado Center on Law & Policy, a family with one adult and one preschooler needs an annual income of at least $57,878 to make ends meet. And a family of two adults, an infant and a preschooler needs an annual income of at least $86,549! This is more than THREE AND A HALF TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL.

FISH supports our neighbors in need through food security, emergency rent, utility, and transportation assistance, and the Navigator Program designed to help people become more self sufficient. In 2016 FISH supported 4,210 unduplicated Broomfield residents and distributed more than 620,000 pounds of food! To learn more and get involved, please visit www.broomfieldfish.org
