On behalf of the Southeast Alaska Food Bank board of directors and our volunteers, I would like to thank Ralph Samuels, vice president of external relations with Holland America Cruise Lines, for the very generous donation of $4,000 to our organization.
Holland America is one of the world’s most popular and successful cruise lines. Based in Seattle, they have a longstanding history of being very generous to the communities they visit, and this generosity has been very apparent in Juneau over the years.
This donation will allow us to continue with our efforts to serve those families and individuals in our community who may need assistance in securing healthy and nutritious food.
The Southeast Alaska Food Bank could never achieve our goal of providing healthy, nutritious food for those in need without the generosity and support of businesses such as Holland America.
Last year, through the efforts of our one employee and our dedicated volunteers, the Southeast Alaska Food Bank provided over 279,000 pounds of food to local food pantries, nonprofit organizations and members of the community, and we would like to thank everyone for the continued support.
Dennis Watson,
President,
Southeast Alaska Food Bank
