Where to eat? A couple of ideas…

Dale serves lunch at the Mullis Center, prepared by Butch (behind Dale) each Wednesday for the "Lunch for All."

Yesterday I wanted to get out & see what was going on in town, and I found a couple of places & deals you’ll want to know about…

Every Wednesday at 11:45am at the Mullis Center, there’s a “Lunch for All” that I got to sit in on…for a $5 suggested donation (but you can donate what you like), chef Butch offered barbecued chicken or pork, along with beans & potatoes & salad…it was great. It’s a full, balanced meal that’s available for anyone who needs one…and it was good to see so many friends there, too. Plan & dropping by & checking it out! It’s sponsored & underwritten by the San Juan Island Community Foundation as well as the volunteers who set up & clean up & help serve the food & wash the dishes… a welcoming & comfortable place to go when you’re not sure where the next meal might be.

Meanwhile, they were pretty busy at the Food Bank yesterday, too – Dorothy Lawson tells me it’s just gotten busier & busier the last couple of years. They have a lot of good food, too – just while I was there, someone donated 24 boxes of lamb patties, straight to the freezer. The food selection is good and pretty healthy, as is the need in our community for the Food Bank to be there. It’s located just across from MarketPlace, if you haven’t been by lately. It’s open Wednesdays & Saturdays from 12-2pm…and you just have to say you need food.

Things have been hoppin' at the Food Bank the last couple of years....
