“Thank You.” Two words that hold a lot of meaning; however, we tend to forget to use them on occasion. MatSu Food Bank has so many individuals and businesses that we are “Thankful” for daily. We provide food for hundreds of people weekly and thousands monthly! We can do this with all the assistance provided by our volunteers and local businesses. Our volunteers provide countless hours of their time helping with the in-take of donated food, assisting folks who come to the pantry to select their food, getting appropriate paperwork done, keeping our facility clean and organized and much more. We want to “Thank” all our volunteers.
“Thank You” to all the businesses, large and small, who provide the MatSu Food Bank with food and donations we need to make sure no one in our growing community goes hungry. “Thank You” for the food drives, the barrels of food we receive daily at the pantry, the events that are promoting food drives, as all these donations go back into our community. “Thank You” for the monetary donations we receive, which provides for us the ability to pay for the resources we need to keep our doors open, so that we can help our community with their food needs.
MatSu Food Bank’s list of “Thank Yous” is long and we are grateful that the list is long. There are so many to be “Thankful” for, as everyone helps us bring so much to our community. Our community is growing every week and so many are struggling with trying to provide for their families and being able to help is wonderful! “Thank You” to everyone who helps us accomplish this mission.
No One Should Ever Go Hungry!
