#Support907 | A Roundup of Alaska Businesses Adapting to the Pandemic

March 16, 2020

We face unprecedented times, and navigating it will require a group effort. Here's an ongoing list of local businesses adapting during this pandemic. Many cannot afford to lose their income; meanwhile, Alaskans will still need products or services, even if the normal means of accessing those get interrupted. Gift card purchases, delivery or pick up, mail ordering… these methods and more enable us to continue to support our local neighbors in Alaska and their businesses.

We're working to keep this list updated for our readers, followers, and community during this time. If you can commit to supporting some of these businesses or even purchasing gift cards now for future use, it can make the difference between someone staying open or someone closing permanently. Our heartfelt solidarity goes out, too, to the many workers in the service industry, and proximal industries, who will be out of work.

It's free to join the list. To add your business, or update your listing, please complete this form so we can continue to update this list, or share this with others who you'd like to see listed in this roundup. We're adding and updating as fast as we can, thanks for all of the submissions!

Thank you to the Center for Economic Development at UAA, the AEDC, and KTVA 11's Jessica Stugelmeyer for their support creating this list.

Alaskans, support these businesses and encourage others to do so by tagging your local food and drink purchases with #Support907. Maintain that social distance, though, and wash and re-wash your hands!
