Making a New Year's resolution? Your volunteer work can make good things happen for many people in the Tanana Valley.

Commit to volunteer at the Food Bank one week a year. Donate 40 hours of your time (3.5 hours/month) and make a big difference in local peoples' lives.

People of all ages and all levels of ability are welcome. There is plenty of work for everyone and if you cannot lift and carry boxes or stand for long periods of time, there are other tasks that we can use your help with.

New Year's Day is a time when many people are looking back on their pasts, and are also looking forward to the coming year. It's a great time to reflect on the changes we want to make in our lives and resolve to follow through on those changes. Here's how volunteering at the Food Bank can help anyone fulfill common New Year's resolutions:

• Spend More Time with Family & Friends
  Volunteer at the Food Bank and invite your family and friends to join you!
• Stay Fit & Tame the Bulge
  Are you one of the many Americans who made a New Year's commitment to shed extra pounds? Food Bank volunteers are constantly on the go. Helping distribute food to the people of Tanana Valley is a great way to work off those holiday pounds without even realizing it! People of all ages and all levels of ability are welcome.
• Enjoy Life More
