This year, the goal is even bigger: 50 participating restaurants and $50,000 raised to help feed our communities. Every meal enjoyed at a participating restaurant helps raise awareness about food insecurity, which affects 1 in 7 Alaskans, including children, seniors, veterans, and families across the state.Some restaurants are running special menus for this week while others will be donating a percentage of their sales from this week to the food bank. The information regarding this week can be found at foodbankofalaska.org.
