The FISH of Roseburg

We’re looking for TWO volunteers… or maybe ONE very organized human who wants to do both!

As The FISH continues to grow, we’re looking for a little help keeping some of our behind-the-scenes magic moving.

Volunteer Coordinator — about 2–4 hours a week
Help us organize and coordinate our volunteer schedule, make sure shifts are covered, and help keep our amazing crew of volunteers connected and informed.

DoorDash & Outreach Coordinator — 3-5 hours a week
Help coordinate our DoorDash deliveries and outreach bags — making sure bags are put together, ready to go, and scheduled to get where they need to be.

These can absolutely be two separate volunteer positions, but if you’re someone who loves organizing, coordinating, making lists, and generally keeping all the ducks (or geese) in a row, you could take on both!

Neither position requires you to be at FISH every day, and there is some flexibility in when the work gets done. What we really need is someone dependable, organized, comfortable communicating with people, and excited about helping us make sure food gets where it needs to go.

Interested? Send us a message, stop by the pantry, or email [email protected] and let’s talk!

Sometimes feeding our community looks like packing a bag of groceries. Sometimes it looks like making a really good schedule. Both matter.

WHAT’S IN MY CART WEDNESDAY — FOR DOLLY 💗

Y’all.

I have some sad news.

The world lost a whole lot of sparkle yesterday. Dolly Parton is gone, and frankly, I don’t think any of us were prepared for a world with less Dolly in it.

So today we are doing what any reasonable food pantry would do in a time of mourning:

We put a wig on the goose.

And honestly? I look FABULOUS.

Dolly was more than big hair, rhinestones, incredible music and one-liners. She grew up knowing what it meant to not have much, and then spent a lifetime giving back. She gave millions of children books through her Imagination Library and showed us that you can be wildly successful and still spend your life lifting other people up.

That’s our kind of human.

So today’s cart is dedicated to Dolly, and thanks to Steel Magnolias, we knew EXACTLY what to make.

CUPPA, CUPPA, CUPPA!

You need:

1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup fruit cocktail with the juice

Mix it all together, pour it into a greased baking dish, and bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes, until golden and bubbly.

THAT’S IT.

Cuppa flour.
Cuppa sugar.
Cuppa fruit cocktail.

Even a goose can make it.

Probably.

Someone should still supervise me around the oven.

And LOOK WHAT WE HAVE AT THE PANTRY THIS WEEK...

FRUIT COCKTAIL!

Coincidence?

Probably.

Am I choosing to believe Dolly sent us a pantry recipe from the great rhinestone-covered honky-tonk in the sky?

ABSOLUTELY.

So today we're playing Dolly a little louder. We're being a little kinder. We're loving our neighbors a little harder.

And I will be wearing this wig until further notice.

Jenn has already asked me to take it off.

I beg your Parton?!

Absolutely not.

Honk honk, Dolly. Thanks for the music, the laughs, the kindness, and for reminding us that helping people never goes out of style.

We will always love you.

Oregon families are struggling to afford groceries. Thousands are losing SNAP benefits. Record numbers of people are visiting food banks, but some say they're running low on food.

Wow……. 79 households served here in Canyonville. Thank you to Mayor Christine Morgan for coming out to volunteer.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

HONK HONK. We have a very serious question today.

Would you rather pet a DRAGON or a DINOSAUR?

Jenn immediately chose dragon.

Of course she did.

Apparently the woman who says, “Make good choices,” would like to walk directly up to a giant fire-breathing flying lizard and say, “Who’s a good baby?”

Jenn. Jenn would do that.

Personally, I have questions.

Does the dragon know we are petting it?
Has anyone ASKED the dragon?
Is the dragon hungry?
Does the dragon eat geese?

Because suddenly I am Team Dinosaur.

Meanwhile, I can barely get anyone to discuss this important issue because THE HUMANS ARE SCRAMBLING.

Today is our VERY FIRST Canyonville Pop-Up Pantry!

The van is getting loaded. Food is being packed. Humans are running around. Jenn is approximately 87% excitement and 13% caffeine.

We’ll be in front of the Canyonville City Offices today from 4–6 p.m. with food for our neighbors. No ID, no proof of income, no hoops to jump through. Just come see us.

And now back to the important business:

DRAGON OR DINOSAUR?

Choose carefully.

Jenn has already wandered off looking for a dragon.

HONK.

Big thanks to the Rogue Credit Union team for stopping by and lending a hand!

They helped us get ready for our upcoming Canyonville Pop-Ups and sorted food brought in by our wonderful Roseburg Food Project Neighborhood Coordinators and donors.

Lots of food, lots of sorting, and lots of helping hands. We’re so grateful for community partners who aren’t afraid to jump in and get to work!
