The Food Pantry of Wasilla was founded in 1989 as a ministry of Good Shepherd Lutheran
Church in Wasilla to provide emergency food to people in our community. In 1992, we became a member of the Valley Christian Conference and organized under the guidance of a board of directors. On March 24, 1994 we became registered as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. In October 2005 the Food Pantry of Wasill

a expanded to include The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in its distribution. As a result, there are now food distributions we handle:

A community based donation program
The federal TEFAP program, a USDA program

In 2013, we became the Mat-Su Food Bank, the only valley-wide food bank feeding families and children, and we are now able to also help supply smaller pantries. The Mat-Su Food4Kids program has been feeding hungry children right here in the MatSu since 2010. Our goal is to make sure no child goes hungry!

Our very own Mayor Glenda was on the block yesterday with a very generous donation. 🤗

And this folks, is just a small part of what she does for us & our clients on a constant basis.

You see, Glenda Ledford is also the President of the MATSU Food Bank’s Board.

She comes in to see us all on a regular basis, knows our roles & expresses her thanks each time she’s here.

We salute you Madam Mayor - thank you for all you do for us, our clients, our community & our state.
