The Lopez Island Job Bank: The Job Bank is a public service of the Lopez Island Family Resource Center. Our goal is to connect local workers with community members looking to hire someone for temporary employment. We facilitate the connection, but hourly wages and other details are decided between the employee and employer. Currently, we have more individuals seeking employment than we have jobs. We have individuals with skills ranging from, but not limited to housekeeping, design consulting, photographers, skilled carpenter, manual labors, and landscapers READY TO WORK! If you need work done, or know somebody who does, please call the LIFRC at 468-4117 and we can help you make a connection!
