We recognize this is a challenging time for many families we serve. Between federal furloughs and frozen SNAP benefits, nutritional support may be needed for families including formula and baby food.

We compiled a list of information for the interior, north/northwest regions, and Copper Center. There may be more and we will continue to update this list as we learn about them.

Our hope is to inform families who may need the support or help those who can provide extra support know where donations can be made.

*if you know of a resource that isn’t on this list for these regions, please email us at acca@alaskacenter.org.

Resources Resource Guide ACCA has been working on a resource guide that is accessible to our community. While this information is not complete, we wanted to share what we had gathered while we continue working on building the library of information and developing a navigation tool.

Thank you Fairbanks Children's Museum for supporting families!

Museum friends,
If someone in your household is furloughed from their federal job, please know we're thinking of you. The unknowns, the waiting, the worries... you are parenting tiny humans through it all. We see you, we understand how hard it is, and we want you to know: FCM's doors are open, free of charge to you.

Until the end of this furlough, households with children and an adult who is furloughed from their federal employment receive free admission to the museum. When you get here, show the front desk your (or your partner's) federal employment ID (a CAC card, a dependent ID, a PIV card, a badge...) and we will waive admission for all members of your household. Please come play!
