Wells Fargo helps Food Bank feed hungry Alaskans

We would like to thank Wells Fargo for recently awarding a $4,000 General Operating Support Grant to the Southeast Alaska Food Bank to help us purchase food when our shelves run low.

On behalf of the Southeast Alaska Food Bank board of directors and our volunteers, we would like to thank Wells Fargo for your generosity and for your continued support of the Southeast Alaska Food Bank and the work that we do.

This generous donation will allow us to continue to help those families and individuals who otherwise might not be able to access much needed food.

Last year, the Southeast Alaska Food Bank provided over 400,000 pounds of food to local food pantries, nonprofit organizations and members of the community, and we are on pace to distribute more than 500,000 pounds of food by the time this fiscal year ends at the end of June.

The goal of the Southeast Alaska Food Bank is to continue to make a difference in the quality of life for those who need help in providing food their families in times of need. This very generous donation from Wells Fargo will help us continue to provide healthy and nutritious food for those in our community who need our assistance, and is greatly appreciated.

Darren Adams,

Manager of Southeast Alaska Food Bank
