Volunteer

At the Upper Susitna Food Pantry we can always use more volunteers. On Wednesday and Friday our volunteers package and hand out food from our Talkeetna Location. But also on other days we welcome volunteers with unloading food, helping in the garden and organizing our storage.

Food Donations

The Upper Susitna Food Pantry gladly accepts donations of wholesome food stuffs from the general public and businesses.

• If commercial food products such donations must be sealed in their original packaging.
• We can not accept local wildlife in the form of hunting procurements or ‘road kill’ unless it has been processed by a certified wildlife game processor.

Stop by on Wednesday or Friday afternoons or contact us to arrange a drop off time.

Donate / Bestow Everyday Items

Operating the Upper Susitna Food Pantry is a complicated and involved process. We are always in need of everydya items like the following:

• Office supplies (pens, printer paper, envelops, manilla file folders, tape, paper clips, clip boards, etc)
• Additional food tiems (canned goods, shelf stable items, fresh food, etc)
• Ancillary items (paper and plastic bags, cutlery, storage containers of almost every size, rewards cards, cleaning solutions, cleaning equipement, etc)

Hold a Chairty Event for Us

Many folks would like to support the Upper Susitna Food Pantry but just do not have the funds and/or food available to do so. If you creative and know some folks aournd the village why not put togheter a charity event with all proceeds going to USFP? If you need some additional help in getting such an event “off the ground” we can most likely give you some assistance. In addition there are many organizations in town which are willing and able to assist. Often local businesses are more than willing to chip in time and some of their products to help make such events a reality.
