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: keep 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 Alaska’s fishing industry to rescue food that might otherwise be discarded. We also receive community donations and administer state and federal nutrition programs. Through a statewide network of more than 150 food pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers, and children’s programs, we distributed 10.1 million pounds of food last year. Today, 1 in 6 Alaskans faces food insecurity, including 1 in 5 children. Your generosity helps families, seniors, and children across Alaska put nutritious food on the table while preserving the dignity everyone deserves.

How Pick.Click.Give. makes a difference

For many Alaskans, the cost of groceries, housing, utilities, and transportation is stretching household budgets beyond their limits. One unexpected expense can mean having to choose between buying food and paying another essential bill. Today, 1 in 6 Alaskans faces food insecurity, including 1 in 5 children.

At the same time, Food Bank of Alaska is navigating rising food and transportation costs, shipping delays, and declines in donated grocery products. These challenges affect both the amount and variety of food available to communities across the state.

Your Pick.Click.Give. donation helps Food Bank of Alaska respond where the need is greatest. It supports the purchase and transportation of nutritious food, including fresh produce, proteins, and pantry staples. It also helps us supply more than 150 partner food pantries and meal programs serving Alaskans in over 60 communities.

Last year, Food Bank of Alaska distributed 10.1 million pounds of food statewide. That food reached children, families, seniors, and individuals through local organizations that understand the needs of their communities.

A donation of $25 or more may feel small compared with the scale of hunger in Alaska, but thousands of individual gifts add up to a powerful statewide response. When you choose Food Bank of Alaska through Pick.Click.Give., you help keep food moving to Alaskans when and where it is needed most.
