Pick.Click.Give Program Manager Heather Beaty said 540 is a record number of charities available for Alaskans to donate part of their PFD checks to.
Beaty: “There are a lot of choices if you’d like to keep your gift local to the Kenai Peninsula, one of the leading organizations as far as the amount of donations collected each year is the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank, a newer addition to the list is the Kenai Peninsula Foundation, there’s the Kenai Peninsula United Way, if you’re into sport fishing the Kenai River Sportfishing Association, Kenai River Watershed Forum, you’ve got Love Inc., the Nikiski Senior Citizens Incorporated, there’s really a ton to choose from if you’re into libraries there Soldotna Library Friends, if you’d like to give to Kenai Challenger Learning Center of Alaska you can, there’s Central Peninsula Health Foundation, the list is probably too long for me to read over the air but the good news is if you’re curious you can go to pickclickgive.org.“
The deadline to file for a 2015 PFD is March 31, 2015.
