Last Frontier Lights who are lighting our way — join us every WE CARE DAY, monthly on the 25th. One day and one act of kindness shared among all of us — of all faiths and no faith. Do it because kindness feels good — and service to others increases your gratitude to God. It is a good thing.
These organizations are quietly doing the work of Matthew 25:40 in Alaska — feeding the hungry, sheltering the stranger, lifting the fallen — and the important work of assisting those oppressed by life. It is a beautiful thing, responding to those in need as we are all commanded. They serve their neighbors. These are not just examples to follow — they would welcome your time and support of their mission.
Alaska — Lights shining across the Last Frontier
A Christian rescue mission in the Alaskan interior. Shelter and meals at -50°. Scripture-rooted and neighbor-focused, open every day in one of the harshest climates on earth. The cold does not stop, and neither do they.
Refugee resettlement, shelter, food, immigration legal services, and social programs statewide. The Catholic mission to serve the whole person in one of the most remote states in the nation.
An ecumenical Christian ministry serving homeless and runaway youth ages 18–24, with a special focus on Alaska Native young people. Founded on the Gospel conviction that every young person deserves a safe place. Shelter, housing, and wraparound services at the top of the world.
Since 1981. Daily free meals. No questions asked. In a state where winter can kill, they have been showing up every single day for over 40 years.
Feeding America member. Statewide reach including Bush Alaska — the most remote communities in the country. They get food where roads don't go.
Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Native Alaskan spiritual traditions and Christian communities working together. The original peoples and the newest arrivals — at the same table. That is Matthew 25:40 in the permafrost.
Tikkun olam at the top of the world. Small, tenacious, deeply committed to tzedakah and their neighbors.
Running on zakat in the Last Frontier — showing up for neighbors in one of the most isolated states in the nation.
Foster-based animal rescue in Anchorage. Every animal placed in a home, not a cage.
The 25th of every month is WE CARE DAY.
One day and one act of kindness shared among all of us — of all faiths and no faith. Do it because kindness feels good — and service to others increases your gratitude to God. It is a good thing.
Share your WE CARE DAY story — the one that made you feel good about doing it. Every little kindness helps. A compliment goes a long way. Jesus says don't tell anyone of your kindness, but we need your example so you only get to use your last name initial so you don't have to compromise your faith. Tell us — what made you feel good helping someone? Your story lights the way for others.
Know a business or organization in Alaska that shares our values — serving neighbors, lifting the vulnerable, doing the important work of assisting those oppressed by life — Matthew 25:40? Tell us about them and we'll shine a light on their work so that you may patronize these entities who share your values.
