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
Have you been following the news on rising food prices? I have, avidly, for the very good reason that as food prices go up, more Alaskans need food assistance.
The Anchorage Daily News reported on April 29 that food prices in Anchorage have risen 10% in the first three months of 2008. Prices on some items are skyrocketing – eggs are up 22%, cheddar cheese 61%, rice a staggering 85%. (See http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/ap_alaska/story/390148.html)
