Beans Cafe

Every meal matters. Every vote does too. 🗳️

Bean's Cafe has been fighting hunger and homelessness in Anchorage since 1979 — and this year, we've been named a Top 5 Finalist for Best Community Growth in the 2026 ADN Best of Alaska competition.

This recognition belongs to everyone who has shown up for our neighbors — volunteers, donors, staff, and the community members we serve. Now we need your help to take it home.

In Anchorage, the last day of school is May 21st — and for many children, that means losing access to the reliable meals they depend on during the school year. 📚➡️☀️The Children's Lunchbox is here to bridge that gap. Every summer, we work to ensure kids in our community don't go hungry when school cafeterias close. Last year, we brought our food truck directly to Mountain View Recreation Center — because no child should have to wonder where dinner is coming from. We're still finalizing our summer plans, but one thing is certain: we'll be there for Anchorage kids.
