Food Bank of Alaska believes that no one deserves to be hungry. Since 1979,
we have been securing donated food for nonprofit agencies to distribute to
hungry Alaskans.

Director's Diary

In Alaska, approximately 12% of families struggle to get food on the table. How difficult that struggle is varies dramatically depending on where you live.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks, Cooperative Extension does a study on the cost of food in 18 communities around Alaska. The March 2008 data shows that the cheapest place to live in terms of cost of food is the Mat-Su Valley; a family of four with two children between ages 6 and 11 spend on average $118.64 per week for food.
