Looking for an Anchorage food bank? St. Francis House Food Pantry is the largest client choice food pantry in the state of Alaska, providing about 100 families with an emergency supply of food daily, and at no cost to the client.
What is a Client Choice Food Pantry?
Client choice means you pick the food you take home to your family from our shelves, just like the supermarket!
The food distributed through St. Francis House Food Pantry comes from the Emergency Food Assistance Program, Food Bank of Alaska, and many generous individuals and local grocery stores.
When you come through our pantry with one of our volunteer personal shoppers, you have the opportunity to pick out different items from the following categories:
- Fresh produce
- Breakfast foods
- Pasta/rice
- Dry and canned proteins
- Frozen meats
- Canned or fresh vegetables
- Canned or fresh fruit
- Bread & sweets
Open 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Mondays – Thursdays and 4:00 – 6:30 p.m. on the 4th Wednesday of the month
Closed on Fridays
Additional Resources
St. Francis House Food Pantry also distributes senior boxes for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, vouchers for the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program, and items for the Summer Food Service Program that serves children 18 years of age and younger.
