Though time has passed and Typhoon Merbok is out of the headlines of the news, the impact of this devastating natural disaster is still being felt by many communities in Alaska, their families, and the state as a whole. We are still in conversation with multiple communities as we continue to make efforts to provide what we can from their lists of need. Thank you to everyone who brought donations to program sites and to the main office during our Relief Drive!

 

With the help of your donations and our partners, we were able to send 5 communities a collective total of 1,445 lbs of fresh produce from Meyer’s Farm! Communities who received produce were Chevak, Scammon Bay, Toksook Bay, Newtok & Kotlik.
