A Girl Scout troop helps hand out food at a Thankgiving Blessing event in 2017.
Volunteers assemble food packages at the Thanksgiving Blessing.
The Thanksgiving Blessing is an annual event organized by the Food Bank of Alaska that provides boxes of holiday food for needy families. Several other organizations participate in helping with distribution and hundreds of volunteers lend time to the effort. This year, food boxes are available in three Alaska cities.
