About Kenai Peninsula Food Bank

Mission Statement

"Because no one deserves to be hungry", the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank, Inc.'s stated mission is to promote public awareness of hunger issues. We are dedicated to aid in the effort to eliminate hunger on the Kenai Peninsula by obtaining and distributing food to non-profit agencies. These agencies serve hungry children, families and individuals. The Food Bank further assures that no one falls short of food and prey to hunger by providing emergency food boxes directly to the hungry from our facility.

Description

The Food Bank is a non-profit organization founded in 1988, which provides food to over 63 non-profit agencies for their feeding programs throughout the Kenai Peninsula. Our food bank is unique because it has four different service programs under one roof. These services include a soup kitchen, USDA commodity program, emergency food program and a agency warehouse-shopping program.
