Thank you to donors of Feed the Mind campaign

For the past several years, Alaska Native Sisterhood (ANS) Camp 70 and Alaska Native Brotherhood Camp 70 have partnered with businesses and organizations through the “Feed the Mind Campaign” to support child and youth nutrition programs in Juneau schools, including privately funded breakfast programs at elementary and middle schools. We are pleased that this year, in cooperation with the Juneau Community Foundation, the United Way, and the Juneau Public Schools, our efforts will ensure that all middle school students have access to a nutritious breakfast. (See School district expands free breakfast for all elementary, middle school students. Juneau Empire, September 7, 2017.)

We wish to thank the generous donors who have given a total of $3,000 to date to our 2017 Feed the Mind Campaign. Their participation is integral to the success of the breakfast program and is much appreciated. Thank you to these businesses and organizations for leading this effort!
