We also collect food donated by community members and administer government food programs. With your help last year, we distributed more than 6.8 million pounds – 5.7 million meals – statewide to 300 partner food pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers, and children's programs feeding their hungry neighbors. Currently 1 in 7 Alaskans, including 1 in 5 children, struggles with hunger.
