It’s August! You know what that means…the Alaska State Fair is coming to town! The State Fair opens August 19th and runs through September 5th, 2022. MatSu Food Bank is excited to be participating again this year, collecting food donations for our community.
Our volunteers and staff will be positioned at the gates, with food collection bins, August 19th & 20th, and then again on August 25th, 26th, & 27th. If you are planning to visit the State Fair, please consider bringing a non-perishable food donation. Also, we accept cash donations. If you would like to offer your volunteer services, please call our office (907)357-3769, ask for Gayle. See you at the Fair!
Community is at the heart and soul of our mission at MatSu Food Bank. We feel so blessed to be a part of this amazing community and we thank all of you for your continued support of the MatSu Food Bank!
Remember - no one should go hungry! Please contact us at (907) 357-3769 if you have any questions about our programs, making donations or would like to schedule a time to volunteer. You can also call United Way’s Helpline at 211, which is a multilingual & confidential service that connects community members to vital local resources. We again thank everyone who helps support our mission and makes it possible for us to serve our local communities. We are honored and immensely grateful! We also invite you to visit and follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MatSuFoodBank.
