Nutrition
Access to nutritious food is the starting point for health at every age. JLSFRC can help you connect with different nutrition support services that meet your needs and ensure that you have consistent access to healthy meals. Read more about available nutrition support services below, or give us a call if you’d like more individualized assistance.
Food Stamps/SNAP
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, called Basic Food in Washington, helps people with low incomes make ends meet by providing monthly benefits to buy food.
Fresh Bucks
Fresh Bucks supports the health and well-being of our community by helping participants afford more locally grown fruits and veggies. Participants receive a $20 match per week as funds allow to use at the SJI Co-op or with Farmers Market vendors.
36 Weekends
If you are a family with children and could benefit from some extra help with food on weekends and school holidays, the 36 Weekends Program might be just what you’re looking for! 36 Weekends is a program sponsored by Rotary of San Juan Islands.
Friday Harbor Food Bank
The Food Bank provides San Juan Islanders with access to healthy, sustainable and nutritious food in partnership with community donors, local businesses, and island farmers.
