Lend a Hand in the Last Frontier: Volunteering in Alaska

Alaska is known for its breathtaking landscapes, close-knit communities, and resilient spirit. But even in the Last Frontier, thousands of families and individuals face hunger every day. The Food Bank of Alaska is working tirelessly to bridge that gap—and they need your help.

Why Volunteer?

When you volunteer, you are doing more than giving your time—you are giving hope. Your support helps ensure that children, seniors, and families across Alaska have reliable access to nutritious food throughout the year. From Anchorage to remote villages, hunger is an ongoing challenge, which is why volunteer support is so vital.

No matter your schedule or skills, there is a way to make an impact:

Your Time Makes a Real Difference

Every volunteer hour helps feed Alaskans who may be dealing with job loss, high living costs, or the challenges of living in remote areas. By giving your time, you help ensure no one in Alaska has to go without food.
