Feeding the success of Alaska’s children by ending child hunger with sustainable, grassroots, child-centered strategies


About

We have only one chance with our children. They will be kids only once and then they will be out the door, on their own, making their own way! So, while we have these little ones, let’s make the most of it. This is our window of opportunity! Kids Kupboard is making an average of 100,000 fresh healthy meals available to thousands of our most vulnerable children each year at more than 23 safe community sites through the Mat-Su Valley. We are the largest outside school feeding program in Alaska. We deliver all of our meals directly into the hands of children. Healthy meals now will support them the rest of their lives. After all, what they learn and experience during their youth will be what they look for in their adult lives. Alaskas youth is Alaskas future. Help us nurture and strengthen Alaska with healthy minds and healthy bodies

How Pick.Click.Give. makes a difference

Childhood hunger is a problem that threatens our children and our future. In 2025, the Mat-Su Borough School District reported that 50% of our student population lives in poverty and relies on free and reduced lunch at school (often the only substantial meal many children have) for the majority of their nutritional support. With increasing economic challenges, we know this number is even higher! What happens to these kids when school is out? Without a solid nutritional foundation, we're in danger of losing an entire generation of leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers.

Kids Kupboard continues to close the hunger gap for thousands of at-risk children in the Mat-Su Valley. With increasing food costs, funding to purchase the fresh, healthy ingredients that go into our daily meals is a great need. The development and implementation of our community growing projects will increase the quality, quantity, and availability of local foods yield as part of a long-term food resiliency answer to food insecurity. However, we will continue to purchase produce and other food needed to feed our children. It costs us $2.50 per meal, and your donations will make a huge difference in our ability to serve even more hungry children!
