Host a Virtual Fundraiser
Fuel Relief Across Alaska During the Shutdown and Typhoon Halong
While food donations are appreciated, your dollars go even further. Through our bulk purchasing partnerships, Food Bank of Alaska can buy more food at lower cost than what’s available in stores — stretching every donation to feed more people statewide.
Every $5 raised helps provide at least 10 meals to neighbors in need.
Benefits of hosting a virtual fund drive:
- Easy to set up and manage online
- Most impactful way to give — we can provide 2 complete meals for the cost of just one can of food
- Helps us source fresh, nutritious items like produce, dairy and protein
- Inspires teamwork and friendly competition
- Transactions take only minutes
- Saves valuable time and warehouse space compared to traditional food drives
