Careers

A cover letter is not always required, but it’s always a great way to introduce yourself and share why you’re excited about joining Food Bank of Alaska. If you have a unique story, passion for our mission, or specific skills you want to highlight, go ahead and include one!

No, we don’t currently have an online application. With a team of around 40-45 staff, we’ve found that a more personal hiring process works best for us.

Instead, we encourage applicants to review our open positions and apply by submitting their resume and cover letter directly via email or following the instructions in the job posting.

Our interview process is designed to be informative and engaging—not intimidating! Here’s what you can expect:

1. Application Review – Our team reviews your application to see if your skills and experience align with the role.
2. Phone or Video Interview – If selected, we’ll schedule a quick chat to get to know you better and answer any questions you have.
3. In-Person Interview –You’ll meet with hiring managers and possibly some future teammates to dive deeper into your experience and fit for the role.
4. Offer & Onboarding – If you’re the right fit, we’ll send an offer and get you set up to start making an impact!

We do our best to review applications quickly, but response times can vary depending on the position. Generally, you can expect to hear from us within 1-2 weeks of applying.

Some positions at Food Bank of Alaska offer hybrid work options, depending on the role. Check the job description for details or reach out to our team for specifics.

Your first day will include an orientation where you’ll learn about our mission, meet the team, and get a feel for our workplace culture. We’ll make sure you have everything you need to hit the ground running!

• You'll also need to bring the following for employment verification:
• A valid photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or state-issued ID)
• Your Social Security card or a birth certificate (for I-9 verification)

We’ll provide a list of acceptable documents before your start date!

We love seeing our staff grow! Whether it’s leadership training, skill-building workshops, or opportunities to take on new responsibilities, we’re committed to helping you develop in your career.

We offer comprehensive benefits starting as early as 90-days into your employment, generous paid time off, wellness reimbursements after your first year, and a supportive, team-driven environment. We believe in taking care of our people so they can take care of our community!

We’re more than just a food bank—we’re a team of passionate, mission-driven individuals working together to end hunger in Alaska. Each team operates a little differently, but we all support each other. Whether you're out on the road delivering food, coordinating programs, crunching data, or engaging with donors, you'll find a collaborative and encouraging work environment.
