Save Anchorage made a $5,000 contribution to Covenant House Alaska on Sunday. Covenant House is the largest provider of services to homeless and runaway youth in the state of Alaska.
“Covenant House is a critical bridge for many teens experiencing homelessness in the Anchorage Municipality, and their organization provides a wide variety of essential services to the community by sheltering and protecting the most vulnerable of our city. We salute Covenant House Alaska’s staff – their tireless efforts make a lasting, tangible difference in many young lives,” said Assembly member Jamie Allard of Chugiak-Eagle River, who is associated with the group.
Save Anchorage describes itself as a “grassroots effort to create positive change within our community,” and has been active in encouraging citizens to attend Assembly meetings and get involved in the decisions impacting Anchorage neighborhoods.
In its most recent Facebook post, the group asked people to attend the Dec. 8 Assembly meeting to provide public testimony about the most recent economic shutdown in Anchorage:
“We need to flood the assembly meeting. Voice your concerns about EO-16. If these shut downs have negatively affected you let your voice be heard. You can provide testimony by phone, email or in person. We need as many people as possible there to show the assembly the face of the people they are hurting.”
