September is Hunger Action Month. We sit down with the Food Bank of Alaska to talk about how big the problem is in Alaska and what Alaskans can do to help.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - One in eight Alaska ns — or approximately 13% — does not have enough food for a healthy and active lifestyle, according to the Food Bank of Alaska .
“A common misconception is that food insecurity, or the fight against hunger, is going much better than it is,” Chief Philanthropy Officer with the food bank Daniel Bentle said. “And that maybe the food insecurity rate was at its height during or immediately after the pandemic, when that just simply is not the case.”“Food insecurity is rising,” Bentle said. “It’s not declining, but what is declining is support.
September is Hunger Action Month and there are several events planned by the Food Bank of Alaska, including Restaurant Week and its Anti-Hunger Network Conference.Police body cam footage from deadly officer shooting of Tyler May releasedUnited States Honor Flag presented to AFD on anniversary of 9/11 attacks
