Fish for Teeth is continuing its tooth-fixing mission with another Fish Taco Fundraiser from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 24 at the San Juan Island Community Theater. An $8 suggested donation lands you a full-on burrito-sized taco, filled with sustainably-harvested Washington Coastal Rockfish, Pablito’s salsa, Tillamook cheese, zesty greens and a squeeze of lime. Absolutely delicious.

Fish for Teeth brings the Medical Teams International Mobile Dental Van to San Juan Island for four two-day clinics. Fish for Teeth also funds special cases that are too complex for the Dental Van. Regardless of income, people suffering from tooth pain and don’t have the funds to see a dentist have the opportunity to live pain-free.

Fish for Teeth has no restrictions on income parameters, so “in the middle” families or individuals who are living with dental pain (and no other means to pay) have an opportunity to live pain-free and have healthy teeth, and thereby will have better overall health. Fish for Teeth receives no government funding whatsoever, nor does it accept funding from foundations that require income parameters for the services provided.

Fish Tacos are Fish for Teeth’s only directed fundraiser; the rest of the funding is made up of individual contributions from caring people from our community. Donations are tax-deductible.

Donations can be made at fishforteeth.com (credit cards accepted), by mailing a check to P.O. Box 2084, Friday Harbor, WA 98250, or by dropping off a check at the Family Resource Center or the San Juan County Health and Human Services office, behind the Post Office. Or, of course, you can help our cause by enjoying a delicious Fish Taco this Friday!
