Show 12: Excerpt - Food Bank of Alaska
Originally featured as part of the Nutrition show.
Distributing 6 million pounds of food annually, the Food Bank of Alaska located in Anchorage, is "the hub of the anti-hunger system" for the state, says Executive Director Susannah Morgan (at left). Sarah Gonzales dropped by to learn about their work and also, the ways that Alaskans can help feed other Alaskans this holiday season. Local anti-hunger activist, Kokayi Nosakhere, also weighs in on the topic and tells about his By 2015: America campaign.
If you're interested in donating food to the Food Bank this holiday season (or any time of year), donations are accepted at the warehouse Monday-Friday from 9am-4pm, see a map here.
