When hunger weighs heavily, it’s hard to focus, hard to thrive, and hard to stay well. At the Anchor Point Food Pantry, we meet that need with empathy, respect, and cheerful hearts—because no one should have to face hunger alone. We provide a weekly food line and meals, monthly TEFAP commodities, holiday food boxes, summer produce, hungry kids' weekend meal packs and a kids' summer lunch bag program.

Fairbanks-based printmaker Ethan Kayaaní Lauesen and Chilkat weaver Laine Rinehart open their exhibit on First Friday, October 3rd from 5-7pm with artist talks at 6pm. Learn more at BunnellArts.org

This is an open playgroup for parents/guardians to bring their young ones* to a great big open space and let them run around and play. Bring your own toys or play with what SPARC has provided (no pedal bikes w/ brakes allowed at this time, only strider bikes & scooters). This class is available Mondays, Wednesdays & Saturdays from 10-11:30am (unless a special event interferes). Cost is $4.00 per child.
* This means toddlers not in kindergarten, or not of school-age yet (~5 yrs. old & younger) -- older siblings are allowed but need to be careful of the littles!

***Please bring a pair of clean indoor shoes for you & your child to change into (in the entryway). Thank you for helping to keep our new floor looking good!***

🏃‍♂️ Walk, roll or paddle! 

You heard that right. This year our national wildlife refuge week event is Find Your Wild! Previously known as Walk for the Wild, Find Your Wild lets you pick your favorite way to support Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge.

On October 4, join in our Find Your Wild event to support the National Wildlife Refuges System! Come walk the spit (around 5k) and learn about the refuge.

National wildlife refuges conserve habitat for endangered species, keep carbon out of the atmosphere, and allow us to get out in nature and find community with our fellow nature fan. Let’s do our part to protect these beautiful places and have some fun at the same time!

📍 Where? Mariner Park 

⌛ When? October 4, 10am-1:30pm
