Fill Plates, Nourish Communities

Your support is crucial in the fight against hunger in Alaska. There are many ways you can make a difference and help us ensure that everyone in our community has access to nutritious food.

• Donate Money: Your financial contributions are vital to our mission. With just $25, you can help the Food Bank of Alaska provide 75 meals, feeding a family of three for an entire week. Every dollar you donate goes a long way in acquiring, transporting, and distributing food to those in need.
• Donate Food: Non-perishable food donations are always needed and appreciated. Your food contributions help stock our shelves and directly support our food distribution programs. Each item donated means one less person going to bed hungry.
• Volunteer Your Time: Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. By giving your time, you assist in sorting and distributing food, supporting special events, and participating in outreach programs. Your involvement is key to our success and helps us reach more people in need.
• Raise Your Voice: Advocacy plays a crucial role in our efforts to end hunger. By raising awareness and advocating for policy changes, you can help us address the root causes of food insecurity. Share our mission and stories with your network and local representatives to help drive meaningful change.

Every action you take, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to feeding our neighbors. Together, we can ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to our cause.
