Our Owners have selected the 2023 Lend a Hand recipients!
Each month, our customers have the opportunity to round up their shopping bill to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to support the work of a local nonprofit. 100% of these donations go to the charitable organization.
We believe our donations will have the greatest impact when we support local nonprofit organizations working in our community. To be considered, applicants should have 501(c)3 status and be headquartered in the Fairbanks area. We give preference to organizations whose work aligns with our Mission and Values.
Important Note: We do not donate to individuals, national charities, political candidates or organizations, organizations that advance a particular religious belief, or organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or status in any other protected group.
