Food and Financial Donations Needed

While the Thanksgiving Blessing is a great event, the Food Bank of Alaska still needs our help. During this busy holiday season, they are in need of both food and financial donations. Every donation makes a difference and helps to ensure that the Food Bank can continue to provide for those in need.

Donating food is a simple way to give back to the community. You can drop off non-perishable items at one of the Food Bank's locations or make a financial donation through their website. Every dollar counts and helps to purchase the food that will be distributed to those in need.
