We are overflowing with food donations from our generous community! This is a great problem to have, but poses some logistical issues in our warehouse. If you have a group of co-workers or friends that would like to come to Food Bank of Alaska and help out during the busy holiday season, please contact Krista Milliken at 907-222-3116 or kmilliken@foodbankofalaska.org to set up a volunteer time. We can accommodate some evenings and weekends as needed.

Volunteers are needed to help distribute and collect surveys at our Mobile Food Pantries. These surveys help us make sure we are getting out the right food to those in need. We are looking for individuals who are comfortable talking to new people and have some knowledge of Food Bank of Alaska. For the month of December, we will be doing surveys at the following locations:

December 16 - Mountain View Mobile Food Pantry, 4-5pm

December 20 - Lutheran Church of Hope, 4-5pm

December 21 - Muldoon Mobile Food Pantry, 8:30am to 9:30am

Please note: Some of these locations are outdoors, so please dress for the weather!

If you are interested in helping out at some or all of these events, please contact Krista Milliken directly.
