We make donating fun! There is something for everyone...
​
PENNY SMASHING MACHINE
The latest exciting way Fish for Teeth generates funds is through our soon-to-be-installed Penny Smashing Machine! It will be located on Spring Street in front of Friday Harbor Drug. This machine will offer four unique images pressed into a penny, for a total cost of only 51-cents! It is a classic attraction in many beautiful and highly-visited places like Friday Harbor, and Fish for Teeth is enhancing the Friday Harbor experience by offering this keepsake to everyone who passes by.
KINGS RECEIPTS
Our Penny Smashing Machine will also have a slot to deposit receipts from King's Market, King's Marine, and King's Variety. When customers deposit their receipts, Fish for Teeth earns 1% of the receipt value, which can really add up! This is a cost-free way of supporting Fish for Teeth —just cross the street and drop your King’s receipt into our Penny Smasher in front of the drug store, and you’ll be helping fix teeth in Friday Harbor!

San Juan Islands Service Scholarship
High School aged kids who are seeking volunteer hours to benefit their Dollars for Scholars effort can help Fish for Teeth in a number of ways, like tallying King’s receipts, or delivering fish tacos to businesses (who can’t make it to the taco sale on fish taco day).
Fish For Teeth does not receive any government funding. All of our funding is from our own fundraising efforts, and direct, tax-deductible donations from individuals. All donations go directly towards our stated mission, which is basically fixing people’s teeth on San Juan Island, and also extends to all of San Juan County.
