Alaska Tilth works hard to connect local farms with community organizations to distribute food items to those in need. We had the opportunity to give a $50,000 grant to support Alaska Tilth's operations and long-term sustainability. They work with local farmers and repurpose local produce in a way that creates accessibility for residents in need. Thank you for all your work in improving access to fresh and healthy food!

From 2016 to 2025, Mat-Su's quality-of-life ratings dropped by more than 10%. But quality of life is something we can always work towards improving! From community events to time in nature, how do you like to improve your health in Mat-Su?
