Dedicated to our community.
We take pride in contributing our time and resources for the benefit of the island.
A few of the ways we show up
From the Islands’ Sounder, March 25, 2026.
Happy Healthy Kids
Nonprofit children’s organizations, including Goliath Children’s House and the Montessori School, get 20% off groceries year-round.
Funhouse snacks
$10,000 in gift cards each year to the Funhouse after-school program, so kids have healthy snacks.
Booster Club
$8,000 to $10,000 in food donated each year, helping the school program raise about $20,000 for sports.
25¢ a bag, back to the island.
We collect 25 cents per grocery bag, above the state minimum of 8 cents, and put all net proceeds into a donor-advised fund at the community foundation to support local initiatives.
We are continually adopting ways to reduce our impact on the environment and are committed to preserving that which makes Orcas Island unique.

Every reusable bag skips the fee and keeps one more bag off the island.
- Bags are 25¢ at the register
- Net proceeds go to local initiatives through the community foundation
