Impact Story: Alzheimer's Resource of Alaska - One Grape at a Time

Here in Alaska, we have the fastest growing senior population in the country. Age is a primary factor in Alzheimer's Disease. And one local organization that is caring for those affected by the disease is the Alzheimer's Resource of Alaska.

The organization received over $2,800 in donations from the Pick. Click. Give. program this past year. Since the Alzheimer's Resource is an Alaska-based organization - as are all organizations you'll find listed this January when filing for your PFD online - all of the money donated stays within the state of Alaska.

Where does the money go?

One program that is almost entirely funded by private donations atAlzheimer's Resource of Alaska is the SAFE (Senior Assistance For Essentials) Program which provides very small items for very low income seniors. These items greatly improve the quality of life of individuals but aren't typically available through traditional funding.

* Your donations helped buy a coffee card for man who lives in assisted living but still enjoys to get out on his own and walk down to the coffee shop every morning.

* Your donations bought two sets of clean sheets for a lady who lives independently and couldn't afford to replace her stained and torn sheets.

* Your donations bought a hot water heater for a family in rural Alaska who lived over a year without one.

And then there are the grapes. Check out this video to learn more about how your small donations through the PFD Charitable Contributions Program are making a big impact, one Alaskan at a time:
