Kids Kupboard is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger in Alaska. We are the largest outside-school-hours child feeding program in the state. From our headquarters in the Mat-Su Valley we serve thousands of meals each week to Alaskan families in need. Kids Kupboard is located 40 minutes North of Anchorage, 15 minutes from downtown Palmer, 5 minutes from downtown Wasilla, and a short drive to Hatcher Pass, the gateway to the rugged and breathtaking Talkeetna mountains. Situated on a private hill-top at the end of a long dirt road, our headquarters are the perfect base camp for your adventures in South-Central Alaska! While visiting us you can expect to experience glorious views of the 3 major mountain ranges in the region, enjoy time on our private trail system, gain an insider's perspective of the Mat-Su valley, and have as little or as much privacy as you desire. Our property is kid friendly with a basketball court and hiking options available on site. For those looking to hit the trails, there are private and well-kept trails accessible for all skill levels within a 1-minute drive of or property, and limitless trail opportunities abound just minutes away at Hatcher Pass, Government Peak Recreation Area, Moose Meadows, and more. Feel free to ask our staff for their suggestions on the best spots to hike, bike, and play! In exchange for your night's stay, our friendly staff is eager to share about our operations via tours of our commercial kitchen, farm, and partner farms. Learn about food safety by volunteering in the kitchen for an hour or two during your stay. Become more familiar with local culture by visiting with our resident Land Steward and indigenous herbalist who will be thrilled to share their wisdom regarding Alaskan wild plants and foods, sustainable harvesting practices, and local history and culture. Please feel free to inquire with any questions you may have about visiting Kids Kupboard. We are so excited to play a part in your Alaskan adventure, and are sure your stay here will be unforgettable. Every $7 spent at Kids Kupboard equates to a meal served to a hungry child in the Mat-Su valley. By camping with Kids Kupboard, you won't just have the opportunity visit our community, you'll have a chance to become a part of it! Please be aware that volunteers, staff, and delivery trucks frequently transit the premises during normal business hours, and that we are an actively developing farm.
