Connecting our underserved neighbors with donated health care.
Thank you HealtheConnect Alaska! During the annual meeting, Anchorage Project Access was awarded $1,558.45! These funds will be used the further APA’s mission to increase access to health care for low-income uninsured members of our community by using a volunteer network of providers working in a coordinated fashion to create a compassionate, respectful, equitable, accountable and efficient program of necessary services for those in need.
For more than a decade, the Mitzvah Mall has created a dynamic opportunity for Anchorage residents to do one-of-a-kind holiday shopping. Gift-giving that gets to the true spirit of the season. More than 25 local nonprofits will converge on Congregation Beth Sholom (7525 E Northern Lights Blvd) and you will have the opportunity to purchase hand-crafted gift certificates showing support for a cause. Give your loved ones and friends the warm heart that comes from providing needed meals, shelter, services, and care from countless life-changing organizations in our Anchorage community. There will be lots of friends, fun, treats and live entertainment too! See you on the 17th!
