No, we’re not on Facebook and we don’t tweet, snap, vine or pin, but we have implemented a couple of simple online opportunities that will make it easier for us to stay in touch as well as give you a way to contribute while you shop!

The way to stay in touch is by signing up for our online opt-in subscription newsletter that will update our communications and help us reduce the amount of money we currently spend on direct mailings, leaving more for food purchases and better ways to help our clients. All you need to do is simply click here (http://eepurl.com/bbMFqX) and complete the very short form. By doing that, you will be one of the first to receive news and information via email about what’s happening at the Orcas Island Food Bank!

For those of you who use Amazon.com to satisfy your shopping urges, you may now donate to the food bank without even feeling it. We have established an Amazon Smile account where individuals using Amazon.com to make online purchases of any kind may specify the Orcas Island Food Bank as a recipient of 5% of your purchase – any time, all the time! Click here https://smile.amazon.com/ch/91-1255700 to find out more and sign up! And, please, feel free to pass this shopping hint along to all of your friends.

And, we are always looking for people wishing to serve on the Food Bank Board. We are currently in need of those blessed with computer skills or who have financial savvy. But if those aren’t your forté, don’t let that stop you! Just contact our Board President, Tom Murdock, by emailing him at tpm884@aol.com.

Our heartfelt thanks to all who responded to our year-end food and fund drive, and to our amazing volunteers for making 2015 a successful year in helping our neighbors through rough times. We greatly appreciate our Orcas Island community.
