"Each of us as human beings has a responsibility to reach out to help our brothers and sisters affected by disasters. One day it may be us or our loved ones needing someone to reach out and help." - Michael W. Hawkins. This quote seems all the more relevant as we contemplate the ever-increasing number of disasters, natural and otherwise, that seem to be plaguing our world. But there is one disaster we can do something to both prevent and relieve - the slow moving but severe disaste of hunger. With your gift today you have joined the thousants of Alaskans who are part of the anti-hunger network feeding our neighbors. We are most grateful.
We are pleased that you chose to help Food Bank of Alaska in its work. We are grateful that you believe, as we do, that no one deserves to go hungry.
Sincerely,
Susannah Morgan, Executive Director
