In other words, stewardship in action. At Fort Knox, responsible stewardship is central to how we do business. It’s not just about protecting land and water. Our philosophy of stewardship extends to the Fairbanks community and beyond. Stewardship is all about getting involved wherever and whenever we can. We buy locally, hire locally, we’re active in charitable giving, and our people are involved with many of the non-profit groups that serve the community every day. And looking around, we know these charitable and volunteer efforts are making a difference. It’s about living our values — that’s the Kinross way.

Thank you for your continued support of all these people who have a vision of SHARING FOOD in the Ta nana Valley and who have volunteered their time to do the work! The Fairbanks Community Food Bank receives free food and gives it away free. The mission of the Food Bank is to collect local surplus food and give it to people who need it. We are primarily a volunteer agency and one-third of our volunteers are local students. In 2013 we collected and distributed over 2 million pounds of local surplus food using the labor provided by nearly 20,000 volunteer hours.
The 2014 Vision of the Board of Directors of the Food Bank:
• To have no one in the Tanana Valley die of starvation. • To have no child in the Tanana Valley go to bed hungry. • To provide food assistance to everyone who meets federal poverty guidelines.
Yes, these are our local military friends who marched out GIVE in the snow. They are constant supporters of this Food Bank. During the holiday season this year they did one food drive which brought in over 13,000 pounds. Thank you to all the people on Ft. Wainwright who worked so hard to make sure no one in the Tanana Valley goes to bed hungry.
Staff member Lacey Greenfield weighs in 463 pounds of food from Anne Wien Elementary School.

We are deeply grateful for each and every volunteer who works so hard for those served by the Fairbanks Community Food Bank. We also thank Flint Hills for their GOLDEN HEART HEROES process. There is not enough money in the world to thank our community volunteers, and we appreciate Flint Hills focusing on that part of acknowledging and honoring volunteers in the Tanana Valley.

Space at our center is excellent for volunteers who would like to share their knowledge and skills with others. Whatever your passions and interests, we can use your help.

On September 6, 2007, Sam Kirstein, executive director of the Fairbanks Community Food Bank, wrote Fort Knox asking if the mine could donate a large rock to go in front of the food bank’s warehouse. Fort Knox delivered that rock, and much more in the years since. Because, at Fort Knox, we believe in community support through local volunteer efforts like the food bank. Sam calls that rock “a symbol of how Fort Knox and the food bank today are partners in improving our community, and our volunteers are the ‘rock’ of the community.”
Fort Knox
To us, stewardship means helping our neighbors and community, and protecting our land and water resources, too. Just recently, Fort Knox sent the Food Bank a cash donation to pay for warehouse floor improvements, prompting Sam to joke that Fort Knox now “is our rock and our foundation, too.”
Our People. Our Community.
About her role at the food bank, Sam modestly says, “Good happens in the community, and I get to see it happen.” We like to think that Sam is one of the many generous individuals in the community out there making good things happen — every day. And we’re mighty glad she does.
