Why Leave the FOB?
Here I Am, Send Me"
Isaiah 6:8
Leave the FOB’ is more than a slogan; it’s a mission to inspire action. Just like soldiers leaving their safe haven to complete their mission, we are called to step out and serve the most vulnerable. While it’s logical to provide food, clothing, and shelter, the emotional reward of seeing hope restored in someone’s eyes is immeasurable. You’re not just feeding bodies; you’re nourishing souls.
Making a Difference
in Achorage
Since our inception, we’ve served over 47,000 meals—a staggering number that represents lives touched and hope restored. Every Saturday, the meals we provide aren’t just about calories and nutrients; they’re about dignity and love. The logical impact of feeding so many is clear, but the emotional transformation for those served and those serving is priceless.
Serving with Love, Action, and Dignity
We don’t just hand out food; we share meals packed with nutrients to fuel both body and spirit. Each hygiene kit and piece of clothing we distribute speaks of care and respect. The future we envision—a shelter for families and counseling services for those battling addiction—is not just logical but profoundly transformative. It’s about creating a community where hope is tangible.
Take Your First Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
Donating isn’t just a transaction; it’s an act of faith and compassion. With 99% of every dollar going directly to those in need, you can be confident your contribution makes a real difference. Beyond the numbers, imagine the emotional impact: a child sleeping with a full stomach or a person finding hope after years of despair—all because of you.
