As one of the prominent Port Angeles, Washington Vending Companies, we understand the unique demands of our community—where maritime workers at the Port Angeles Harbor, timber industry employees, and healthcare professionals at Olympic Medical Center all need access to wholesome nutrition during their shifts. Our healthy vending program delivers fresh, nutritious snacking options thoughtfully selected for working people across Port Angeles, from the Bay Street commercial corridor to the waterfront district, with machines stocked exclusively with 100% healthy and organic snacks. FitPick® is a distinguished vending and self-pay market program designed to assist employers and consumers in selecting products that adhere to established nutrition standards, and it’s particularly valuable for the shift-based workers and seasonal tourism staff who power our local economy. Its straightforward guidelines provide clear criteria for calories, fat, sugar, and sodium, making it an ideal choice for both employers and the working families throughout Port Angeles and the broader Olympic Peninsula.
Our membership in NAMA, the leading professional organization for vending companies, enables us to provide our customers with the nationally acclaimed “Fit Pick” healthy vending machine program tailored to Port Angeles’ industrial and hospitality workforce. This initiative showcases a selection of snacks, beverages, and foods that conform to rigorous standards on calories, fat, sugar, and sodium, helping dock workers, outdoor recreation outfitters, and healthcare staff at facilities across the East Port Angeles and downtown areas make healthier choices during demanding workdays.
Whether you’re outfitting a vending machine at Olympic Medical Center, along the Downtown Waterfront Trail, or at one of Port Angeles’s busy maritime service facilities, FitPick® delivers a straightforward way to offer healthier snack options without sacrificing revenue.
FitPick® uses eye-catching stickers to clearly mark vending machine slots containing FitPick® approved snacks, a particularly valuable feature in Port Angeles where dock workers, timber industry employees, and seasonal tourism staff often grab quick meals between shifts. More prominent clings and stickers provide detailed information about FitPick™ nutritional standards, ensuring workers and visitors in our waterfront and commercial districts can make informed choices at a glance.
FitPick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines tailored to different audiences and workplace settings. The most widely adopted adult criteria is the 35-10-35 standard (maximum 35% calories from fat, maximum 10% from saturated fat, and maximum 35% product weight from sugar), which aligns well with the active, outdoor-focused lifestyle common among Port Angeles residents and the fitness-conscious visitors drawn to our proximity to Olympic National Park. Additionally, FitPick® provides labels for items meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines.
FitPick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, meaning businesses operating multiple vending machines throughout Port Angeles, Peninsula College, and surrounding Olympic Peninsula communities can implement the same program seamlessly across all locations.
Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Port Angeles workers, commuters at the City Pier and ferry terminal, and health-conscious consumers throughout our community to make better snack choices guided by clear, science-backed “better for you” standards.
FitPick® makes choosing nutritious snacks straightforward for Port Angeles’s diverse workforce—from maritime professionals on the waterfront to timber industry workers and healthcare staff at Olympic Medical Center—by clearly identifying “better for you” options across nearly 700 FitPick® approved products. In a working-class community where dock workers, fishermen, and seasonal tourism employees often grab quick meals between shifts, this program removes guesswork and streamlines healthier selection from vending machines, ensuring better nutrition is always within reach during demanding workdays throughout Downtown Port Angeles and the Bay Street commercial corridor.
The FitPick® program recognizes the importance of functional foods,
acknowledging that snacks are often equivalent to meals.
