Medical & Ferry Vouchers

As part of our Oasis Community Navigators program, VYFS is pleased to partner with Granny's Attic and Island donors to distribute thousands of dollars in medical & ferry vouchers to low-income island residents and those facing extraordinary medical costs.

Vouchers are redeemable for medical care at a variety of Island medical providers, the Vashon Pharmacy, and cover a variety of other medical related expenses. Ferry travel vouchers are available to cover ferry transportation to off-Island medical appointments. 

 To access vouchers, you must first complete an intake with an Oasis Community Navigator.

Community Navigators meet in person with Islanders seeking assistance, and they are also available by phone.

An Oasis Community Navigator is now available in person:

  • At the Food Bank on Wednesdays from 10am to 2pm & 3pm to 7pm

  • At the United Methodist Church on Thursdays from 12pm to 3pm

  • Meetings can also be arranged by appointment. Contact:

    • Patricia Banuelos at 206-348-4252

    • Debbie Rieschl at 206-463-5511 ext 225, Monday through Friday.

Please plan ahead and provide three days’ notice when requesting vouchers.

Emergency access to vouchers is only available in truly urgent situations.
