Help Fight Hunger for The Children's Lunchbox

WITH YOUR HELP, WE CAN FIGHT HUNGER IN ALASKA 
Collecting food and funds for The Children’s Lunchbox in Anchorage

Hunger in our hometown is not acceptable and we need your help… to do anything we can, to help good people who are struggling to find their next meal.

Nuvision Alaska is launching our Nuvision Cares Help Fight Hunger Food Drive  now through October 31, 2021 so we can all do our part to make a difference in Alaska’s Hunger Action Month, a program  to help feed as many families as possible throughout the state.

We are once again partnering with Peppercini’s Catering to collect food and financial donations to help The Children’s Lunchbox program feed our local neighbors in need through their pantry pack program.  Last year’s drive was a great success, Nuvision Alaska Members supplied over 3,500 pounds of food and $3,000 to provide much needed meals for local families.  This year we can do more!

Check out our recent story from Channel 2 News 

 And our food drive from last year:


It’s easy to help:

Quick & Easy! Donate to this GoFundMe page for The Children’s Lunchbox  AND/OR drop off a non-perishable food donation to any of our Nuvision Alaska branches. 

Let’s Do our Part:

“Hunger in this country existed long before COVID-19, but the pandemic has thrust more and more of our neighbors into food insecurity.  With support of our community, together we can end hunger one helping at a time.” - Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America
