Thank you, Fairbanks North Star Borough, for turning out
and making this Drive even bigger than last year!

If you are still interested in donating,
please see our list of requested items below, contact the agencies directly
and ask if they still need specific items.
​
See you next year!

Make the biggest impact with your donations
by bringing us what local agencies need!

The Fairbanks Community Needs Drive started in December 2018 to assist individuals in donating gently used/new items to local agencies who need specific items to serve their patrons. Instead of a person donating items en mass to a thrift shop or transfer site, they can bring requested items to the event and we’ll sort them to the agency that requested it. In 2018, we had 7 agencies sign up, though at the end of the day, we delivered to 10 agencies.
