Food Bank of Alaska
Anchorage, AK • EIN: 92-0073175
We are dedicated to eliminating hunger by collecting and distributing food through 150 partner agencies across Alaska.
About
Food Bank of Alaska was founded in 1979 by a small group of Anchorage church and community volunteers with a simple vision: prevent good food from going to waste and get it to Alaskans who need it. That mission is just as urgent today. We partner with grocery stores, wholesalers, farmers, producers, and the fishing industry to rescue food that would otherwise be discarded. We also collect community donations and administer state and federal nutrition programs. Together with 150 partner food pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers, and children’s programs, we distributed 7.9 million pounds of food last year. Right now, 1 in 7 Alaskans, including 1 in 5 children, face hunger. Your generosity ensures that families, seniors, and children across Alaska have meals on the table and the dignity that comes with being nourished.
How Pick.Click.Give. makes a difference
When you make a Pick.Click.Give donation of $25 or more to Food Bank of Alaska, you help fill plates for children, families, and seniors across our state. Your support also strengthens our network of 150 partner pantries and meal programs, from Beans Café to the Native Village of Point Lay. Last year, your generosity made it possible for us to distribute 7.9 million pounds of food statewide, enough for nearly 6.6 million meals.Today, 1 in 7 Alaskans, including 1 in 5 children, face hunger. In addition to supplying partner agencies in Southcentral and more than 60 rural communities, Food Bank of Alaska provides over a million meals each year for children, food boxes for seniors, and weekly Mobile Food Pantry distributions in Anchorage neighborhoods.
We prevent food waste by rescuing surplus food from grocery stores, wholesalers, farmers, producers, and the fishing industry. We also purchase food and administer federal nutrition programs to ensure every meal is as nourishing as possible. Community support accounts for about 25% of our budget, which means your donation truly makes a difference. Learn more about hosting a food drive or volunteering at www.foodbankofalaska.org.
