— from Hilary Canty —

oicfLogoGive where you live this season. The Orcas Island Community Foundation is hosting an online Holiday Catalog featuring fourteen great programs supporting a wide variety of island efforts, everything from coats for kids, the Choral Society and senior services, to Coffelt Farms and Farm to Cafeteria, and more. Check out all the opportunities at www.giveorcas.org.

When you make a donation through the catalog, the organization receives 100% of the gift. You receive a tax receipt and we send a beautiful holiday card to your Aunt Ginny (or whomever you designate as the gift recipient) detailing the program that the donation supports and wishing them great joy. It is truly a gift of the heart and a gift for the entire community.

For more information, contact Hilary Canty or Kate Long at the Orcas Island Community Foundation, 376-6423.
