Mat-Su Food Bank: No One Should Go Hungry

Contributed by Lauralynn Robison

Donations:

The Matsu Food Bank receives many donations of various kinds, everything from food, money, materials, volunteer time and all things in between.  When you consider the difficult time that our community is experiencing right now, it is truly a blessing that our community comes together to help each other.  People in our community come to us donating food daily, businesses donate food they have collected on behalf of their Food Bank Drives.  Also, there are monetary donations, which affords us the ability to keep our doors open, so that we may serve our community.  There are so many ways you can “Donate” to the MatSu Food Bank.

Volunteers:

Donate their time to help us keep the shelves stocked and buy helping families “shop” at our pantry and keep the warehouse and pantry organized.  Volunteering is the most rewarding thing you can do for your community. We appreciate all of our volunteers, without them, we would not be able to help our community!

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 “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!
