The Holiday Season is once again upon us. Families in our community are struggling with food insecurities and Holidays are difficult for many of them. The MatSu Food Bank is blessed that we have so many businesses and individuals who donated throughout the year to help us assist with providing nutritious food so that we may help our community during this time of need. If you or someone you know is seeking food for this Holiday season, please contact our Food Pantry or schedule a visit, to see how we can help.
In February 2022, the MatSu Food Bank will hosting their annual event, HEARTS4HUNGER. This event offers silent/live auctions, music, delicious food and of course socializing! This year’s event is focusing on raising awareness for the need to buy our new warehouse. Our community has grown rapidly these past few years and the need for a larger warehouse is in demand, so that we may house all the donations properly. Tickets for this even will be available within the next couple weeks, be sure to get yours quickly, as seating is limited.
