## Resource

Despite Alaska’s bounty of harvests and wild game, food insecurity is surging—up 45% since 2020—with over 115,000 residents, or one in six, struggling to eat. SNAP participation has dropped 17%, leaving kids, elders, rural communities, and families of color especially vulnerable. School meals offer temporary relief but vanish over weekends. With federal cuts tightening access, the burden falls on food banks—and real solutions are urgently needed before November.
