||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||


We’re thrilled to announce that Orcas Senior Center will receive $165,000 in USDA funding in 2026 to help replace our aging roof! This incredible support is thanks to U.S. Representative Rick Larsen’s advocacy for our earmark in the Continuing Appropriations Act of 2026.

We’re also celebrating the success of our GiveOrcas Holiday Campaign, which fully funded the first phase of our building remodel: a private ADA compliant restroom, storage for mobility equipment, and refreshed office spaces for vital programming.
Want to contribute to future building remodel plans and continue improving our center? Donate to the Orcas Senior Center Capital Improvement Fund at www.oicf.us.
Thank you to all the supporters, including donors, Orcas Island Community Foundation, and Rep. Larsen for making these improvements possible!
