The Lopez Island Family Resource Center provides resources and guidance necessary to meet the basic needs of the entire community.

When families face difficult times, we act as a safety net, helping them meet basic needs through programs like Lopez Fresh and rental assistance. Our technology lab, employment and life skills classes, and various workshops provide you with the skills you need to succeed in this technological age. After-school programs, Readiness to Learn family advocates, our mentor program, and Lopez Summer Workshops allow your child to thrive both in and out of the classroom. We also provide resources and referrals, connecting you to important services on the local, state, and federal levels. Above all, our goal is to facilitate the building of bridges within our unique community, allowing people to connect as teachers, mentors, helpers, and friends.

Thanksgiving at the Food Share will look a little different this year. Rather than one set holiday meal, you’ll have more choice, so you can build your table around the harvest foods you love most.

The Lopez community is made up of families with many different backgrounds, cultures, traditions, and faiths.

We want everyone to find foods that feel familiar, fit their needs, and allow them to celebrate in their own way. This year, Food Share will offer a variety of seasonal produce, dairy, and frozen proteins, giving households more flexibility in preparing a meal that feels like their own.

And because Thanksgiving is a time for gathering, we’re opening the Food Share on Wednesday, November 25, even though we’re usually closed the day before the holiday. We’ll welcome neighbors ages 62 and older from 11:30 a.m. to noon, and the entire community from noon to 2:00 p.m.

El Día de Acción de Gracias en Food Share se verá un poco diferente este año. En lugar de una comida tradicional fija, tendrás más opciones, para que puedas armar tu mesa con los alimentos de la cosecha que más te gusten.

La comunidad de Lopez está formada por familias con muchos orígenes, culturas, tradiciones y creencias diferentes.

Queremos que todos encuentren alimentos que les resulten familiares, que se ajusten a sus necesidades y que les permitan celebrar a su manera. Este año, Food Share ofrecerá una variedad de productos de temporada, lácteos y proteínas congeladas, dando a los hogares más flexibilidad para preparar una comida que se sienta como propia.

Y como el Día de Acción de Gracias es un momento para reunirse, abriremos Food Share el miércoles 25 de noviembre, aunque normalmente estamos cerrados el día antes del feriado. Daremos la bienvenida a los vecinos de 62 años o más de 11:30 a.m. a 12 p.m., y a toda la comunidad de 12 p.m. a 2 p.m.
