Join us on Giving TWOsDay!

No doubt your inbox is full this morning - there are so many worthy causes to support on Giving Tuesday! One small way to support families and adults who are struggling is with warm socks and gloves, hats and mittens. For clients struggling with mental illness, self care is a huge component of recovery. In Alaska, we know the benefits of getting out to enjoy our beautiful state, IF you can stay warm enough. For clients who are homeless, warm dry socks and gloves can be life-saving.


Starting on Giving Tuesday, we'll be collecting warm items at each of our clinic lobbies. Drop items off with our reception staff, or reach out to info@akbh.org!


Cash donations are used to support clients with needs that are not covered by insurance or grants and to support programs for transition age youth at Alaska Seeds of Change and the POWER Center!
