Anchorage Restaurant Rescue Program Announces 16 New Participants
Sixteen restaurants have been selected by lottery to participate in the new round of the Anchorage Restaurant Rescue program.
The program, a partnership of the Municipality of Anchorage, the Alaska Hospitality Retailers Association, and United Way of Anchorage, began on November 2, 2020.
Restaurants have provided both premade and hot meals to children, families, and seniors through nonprofits from Kids Corps Head Start classes to people in senior housing.
The purpose is a threefold response to the economic crash of the COVID-19 pandemic: Provide desperately needed revenue to struggling restaurants, keep restaurant workers employed, and provide high-quality meals to people in need throughout the community.
