The Friday Harbor Food Bank won the San Juan Islands Lion’s shopping spree Nov. 22. They also won one of the conciliatory turkeys, plus the person who won the second conciliatory turkey donated it, giving the non-profit a full sweep of the prizes.

The San Juan Island Lions Club resumed their annual Fall “Shopping Spree” contest after a two-year hiatus due to COVID. The Spree allows one winner the unique opportunity to run through King’s Market and pick up all the groceries they can in four minutes for free. There are only a few limitations: no more than four of any single item, no tobacco, alcohol, or olive oil, and the winner is limited to $50 worth of meat and cheese.

The Spree also gives two additional winners one turkey each, the conciliatory turkey. Proceeds from the raffle tickets help support the San Juan Lions Scholarship Fund, which helps fund post-secondary education for local graduating high school seniors.

According to Lions President Bruce Martin, the food bank picked up $800 worth of food.

“It was definitely fun watch them run around and get it done!” he said.
