The Pea Patch Community Campus.
A permanent home for the Food Bank, built alongside 20 affordable homes, with OPAL Community Land Trust and the Orcas Island Community Foundation.
From any space we can find, to a home of our own.
Since the pandemic the Food Bank has worked from whatever space it could get its hands on. A permanent, centralized building will let us proactively meet the island’s growing need.
- A new, permanent Food Bank with greater capacity
- 20 long-term townhome rentals with supportive services
- A commercial kitchen and repack room
- Green spaces, community paths and a regenerative food garden
Site work is underway
Utility connections, stormwater retention and the new entry road are in progress at 55 Pea Patch Lane. Townhome construction begins this fall, and work on the new Food Bank building is expected to start in the spring.
A Request for Qualifications for new construction general contractors is posted on the Food Bank site.
