General Info:

Herndon-Reston FISH, Inc (Friendly, Instant, Sympathetic Help) is a volunteer, non-sectarian, non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to helping people meet emergencies and short-term needs. FISH has assisted Herndon-Reston residents since 1969. FISH responds to requests for rent, transportation to medical appointments, furniture, utilities, medical items (including prescriptions) and other short term emergency needs. Our goal is to prevent an eviction, keep utilities from being turned off and help people pay for their prescriptions. We work closely with social workers from Fairfax County, local hospitals and other nonprofit organizations. Additionally, Herndon-Reston FISH, Inc operates an Information and Referral Service, funded by a grant from Fairfax County, which provides all callers with information about sources of long and short-term assistance available in Fairfax County through public and private agencies. This service also arranges rides for Herndon and Reston residents to get to medical appointments. Volunteers provide the transportation service. FISH recently implemented a Financial Workshop to help families with financial literacy. Assistance Liaison Mary Herdell FISH Fling Chair Janet Hyman Board Member Pat Davis
