About Food Bank of Alaska

No one deserves to be hungry. Yet, 1 in 7 Alaskans, including 1 in 5 children, faces hunger. Food Bank of Alaska is committed to eliminating hunger by connecting communities to food and advocating for long-term solutions. Through our network of 150+ agency partners, we distribute millions of pounds of food each year to ensure that every Alaskan has access to the nourishment they need.

Our Mission

Food Bank of Alaska is dedicated to eliminating hunger in Alaska by obtaining and providing food to partner agencies feeding hungry people and through anti-hunger leadership. We believe that no one deserves to be hungry.

How the Public Can Support Food Bank of Alaska

Food Bank of Alaska’s most immediate need is funding. Cash gifts are the most effective way to strengthen food access across the state. Through our purchasing power with Feeding America, we can buy in bulk and stretch every dollar further than individual food donations. One dollar provides 2 meals.

Key ways the public supports this work:

• Unrestricted Donations: Provides the flexibility to meet urgent needs and move food where it is needed most.
• Thanksgiving Blessing Meals: A $40 gift provides a full holiday meal for a family of four.
• Disaster Relief Fund: Supports rapid response efforts during emergencies and disruptions that affect Alaskans’ access to food.
