VANCOUVER — The Clark County Commission on Aging has announced Katlin Smith is the winner of its 2022 Silver Citizen Award.
In 2014, Katlin joined the FISH of Vancouver’s capital campaign committee, supporting the $1 million campaign that enabled the purchase of a new 10,000-square-foot building/warehouse in downtown Vancouver. She joined the organization’s board in 2016 and has been president of the board since 2017.
Under Smith’s leadership, FISH of Vancouver evolved to distribute approximately 1.3 million pounds of food last year, with three full-time employees and more than 120 volunteers. FISH also changed its distribution model from clients receiving pre-packaged boxes to a client choice, grocery store model. FISH also added a Mobile Pantry, which takes fresh produce, staples, dairy and meats to clients at senior centers, low-income medical clinics and other often overlooked locations.
