Now more than ever it’s important to support one another. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has taken its toll on our economy, shareholders and community members, and despite social distancing, we’re more dependent on each other than we ever have been. We have to take care of ourselves and each other, and this support for one another lies at the heart of one of Chugach’s core behaviors: We build community.

This webpage is dedicated to providing Chugach’s shareholders and community members with the latest Coronavirus (COVID-19) information, resources and suggestions for how you can give or receive community support during this unprecedented time:

Community Support

Alaskan’s have an incredible legacy of giving and supporting local charities. The needs of those charities and the services they provide are being called upon now more than ever. Here are a list of charities and services in need of immediate support, if you have the capacity to give:

  • Some of our community members are taking the brunt of closures associated with social distancing, especially those in Anchorage’s restaurants and entertainment industries. These neighbors of ours are experiencing unprecedented hardships. That’s why the Anchorage Cares COVID-19 Response Fund was established. One hundred percent of donations will go directly to families and individuals with the highest needs, which will be determined using Alaska 2-1-1 call data and input from United Way’s network of partner agencies. You can help by donating online or texting ANCcares to 41444.
  • Alaska Caring Notes is an initiative to encourage children who are home from school to take time to write notes, upload a drawing, or send a video to residents in nursing homes. We know this is a difficult and lonely time and this is an Alaskan way to spread some happiness throughout our nursing homes. Let’s flood their homes with love! Complete the form with your name and type a message, upload a picture or drawing or even a short video message. Hit send and they’ll get it to an Alaska nursing home.
  • Alaska Community Foundation-Alaska COVID-19 Response Fund aids non-profits and makes essential services available to Alaskans.
  • Gift card purchases, delivery or pick up and mail ordering are also ways we can continue to support our local neighbors in Alaska and their businesses.
    • Carryoutak features Alaska CHARR’s searchable listing of local restaurants remaining open for takeout/curbside/delivery service.
    • Edible Alaska includes a list of all of the restaurants offering takeout and delivery.
  • Bean’s Café has moved all services to the Sullivan Arena and Ben Boeke in an effort to protect the homeless population from COVID-19. In addition to shelter services, Bean’s also provides three meals a day in each location and donations will support these vital food services.
  • Anchoage is currently facing a shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE). Given the demand for PPE and Alaska’s distance from suppliers, Anchorage needs to stretch existing supplies as long as possible. If you have (unused) nitrile gloves (no latex gloves), n95 masks, surgical masks, medical gowns or face shields you can drop them off to CrossFit Alaska at 9191 Old Seward Highway or email covid-19@anchorageak.gov with questions.
  • Food Bank of Alaska needs immediate funding to increase services like mobile food pantries. They are accepting food donations directly at their warehouse. This need is amplified as social distancing has suspended annual food drive registrations.
  • Salvation Army of Alaska provides food boxes to vulnerable populations and is accepting monetary and non-perishable food donations.
  • The Children’s Lunchbox needs funds and food donations to continue providing food boxes to families in need of meals. With schools closed, children don’t have the same access to school meals, so they are trying to intensify their efforts.
  • United Way of Anchorage-Anchorage Cares COVID-19 Response Fund helps Anchorage individuals who need help with immediate needs like food and grocery items.
