This is a local food drive to benefit the Food Banks of Matsu
(Distributing to the Mat- Su Valley area food pantries only)
With the New Year comes a new hope, and a new beginning for all; but, some families are in a tough spot, and could use our help to make ends’ meet through the rest of winter. During the holiday months, we tend to give or donate to others in abundance, but after that, the local food banks fall way short with donations in the months between New Year, until Easter. Our goal is to fill the gap in these months, we hope you “CAN” help us, by continuing to donate to the food banks in the valley – for families still in need of help this New Year!
So, please help and donate at one of these locations: Three Bears (Big Lake, Pittman, KGB, Palmer-Wasilla), Denali Harley Davidson, Performance Yamaha and House Of Yamaha.
Many other Businesses are helping as well: Alano Club Of Matsu, Q99.7 KMBQ, Carrs, Fred Meyer, Walmart, Great Alaska Pizza Company, Subway, The Tub-House & Tanning, Body Piercing Unlimited, Kaladi Brothers, Matsu Water, Extreme Fun Center, Franz Bakeries, and many other businesses – and people jumping in all the time to help out with this drive.
There will be a spaghetti feed dinner – with fixings to honor those who helped in the food drive. Also, this is a large part of donations that are gathered for the food pantries.
