Jonesboro, AR – JonesboroRightNow.com – The Fisher Street Community in Action’s (FSCIA) annual spring fish fry is set for mid-May.
The event is free for all to attend. Food will be given out via a drive-thru system, although there will be a station for those without a vehicle to walk up and receive food.
“It is basically giving back to the community because the community supports Fisher Street Community in Action,” said FSCIA CEO Charles Coleman.
