| Last updated on July 27, 2007 |
FISH is an all-volunteer group that provides transportation in the Stamford area for those of all ages who have no other means of reaching health facilities.
Description:
FISH works quite simply: an answering service receives phone calls from 9AM to 5PM,Monday through Friday, though emergency calls will be handled on weekends.
The service relays the call to the volunteer scheduled that day who returns the call at once to the person requiring transportation to a medical appointment. The volunteer obtains all the pertinent information and then phones the driver scheduled for the day of the requested appointment. The driver verifies the pick up time with the rider.
History:
FISH of Stamford was organized in 1972. The origin was in England and FISH spread rapidly as an international concept of assisting individuals in personal need. The letters of FISH have been interpreted as meaning FRIENDS IN SERVICE HERE or FEEL I SHOULD HELP.
FISH is completely non-profit. FISH of Stamford has no paid staff nor an office, only an answering service and a post office box.
