FISH CEO to speak at Monday's Democratic luncheon
Jim Peckham, Executive Director of Friends In Services Helping (FISH), will be the featured speaker at Monday's Democratic luncheon. FISH is rural Northern Nevada’s largest and most complete social services program. It provides food, clothing, shelter and medical aid to the homeless, hungry and underemployed within our community, with the objective of helping families and individuals become self sufficient.
FISH has been serving Carson City and other rural communities in Nevada since 1979, providing Food, Instruction, Shelter, and Health care to those in need. FISH does not rely on the government for funding. Ninety-eight percent of their multi-million dollar budget is funded through the local community via donations and grants.
After 25 years as a corporate executive, Jim Peckham became the FISH Executive Director in 2009. He has experience rebuilding non-profits that are self-sustaining and valued by the local community. He has a Master's Degree from Michigan State University and is a member of Rotary and the local pastors association.
This event is scheduled for 1:00 PM on Monday, October 28th, and can either be attended in person at Black Bear Diner, inside Max Casino, or online via Zoom. The presentation will begin after all orders have been taken - around 1:30 PM. A link to the video recording will be distributed once it's been uploaded. Those wishing to be on distribution for luncheon Zoom links should contact Rich Dunn at richdunn@aol.com.
