GIVE ORCAS GAME DAYS!

The first of our game days is nearly upon us…
Tomorrow is ‘unique donor day’, where each nonprofit competes for the most unique individual donors.

We invite you to consider donating to our kitchen restoration project, seeking to expand the use and functionality of Orcas Center’s kitchen for the whole community.

We’re also looking forward to both ‘Weekend Games’ and ‘Ben Franklin Day’ (more info soon!).

Until then, and no matter where you choose to donate, happy Give Orcas!

During the month of May, Art for Orcas Kids celebrates Arts Education Month with the Annual Student Art Exhibit at Orcas Center.

The exhibit (on display from April 24-May 26) represents a full school year of creative exploration from Kindergarten through 12th Grade, including sculpture, painting, mixed media and collage.

Thank you to all who joined us for the exhibit opening and a special thank you to the VAC volunteers who helped set up the exhibit - Julia Summers, Sarah Crigger, Carol Ann Anderson, Marjorie Taylor, Bethany Marie and Julie Rusby plus all the organization provided by Amber Taylor, Leon Rosenblatt and Kathleen Youngren.

We hope you will visit and join us in celebrating the artistic growth and accomplishments of Orcas Island public school students.

Warmly,
Art for Orcas Kids

Orcas Island Community Foundation’s 2026 Spring GiveOrcas Campaign is now open and runs through May 21 at www.giveorcas.org. This is your chance to support 32 local nonprofit organizations that are crucial to sustaining and enhancing the quality of life on our island.

Orcas Center is seeking a $25,000 grant to upgrade our kitchen with commercial certification to expand our community impact. Our kitchen has long supported events, performances and community celebrations, yet our current kitchen limits what’s possible. We hope to transform our kitchen into a certified commercial space by installing commercial-grade fixtures — such as a grease trap, fire-suppression range hood, and ice maker — and making essential repairs to the existing flooring, counters, plumbing, and electrical systems. Commercial certification will support local food entrepreneurs, increase opportunities for earned revenue, and deepen the Orcas Center’s role as a true gathering place for the island. This investment strengthens not just our facility but also the community connections within it.
