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.

Families blessed with groceries For the sixth year, Food Bank of Alaska and its partners in the faith community joined together for the Thanksgiving Blessing Project. Thanksgiving Blessing is a public event where Anchorage and Eagle River families in need receive a turkey and all the trimmings for a Thanksgiving meal. In total, 6,053 families came out for the grocery distribution; a five percent increase over last year. In 2008, Thanksgiving Blessing provided for 5,800 families and was the largest increase Food Bank of Alaska and its partners in the faith community experienced. More
