North Star Community Foundation

Welcome to Santas Helper's 2023 toy/food drive page.

Please visit us on Facebook or our website for the latest news.

Our mission:

Toys donated by our community helps provide Christmas gifts to families with children 17 and under. In preparation for this year, drop boxes have been placed around Fairbanks and community members are encouraged to donate and drop off new toys for children of all ages. 

If you are interested in helping us this year, please reach out to us over FB and email. Groups interested in volunteering this year please email santashelpersak@gmail.com or phone 907-750-0608.

Donation boxes can be found at Fairbanks Nissan, Pearson Automotive Repair in Fairbanks and North Pole, Forbes Storage, Comic Shop, Enchanted Forest Toys, both Safeway locations in Fairbanks, Santa Claus House, Open Arms Day Care, and Fred Meyer West.

The Chena Tool Library enhances self sufficiency, community resiliency and neighborly relations by supporting DIY endeavors through sharing tools, knowledge and skills.

Fairbanks is a community of do-it-yourselfers, from homebuilding to car repair to chicken raising. However, not everyone can afford all the tools needed for these endeavors, nor does everyone have the space to store them or even the desire to own them for infrequent or one-time use.

Support the Chena Tool Library with a Donation.

Dark Winter Nights is an effort to define and share the Alaskan Experience, particularly through the winter months, when the sun is seldom seen.

Fairbanks Queer Collectives mission is to build community through community outreach & engagement, and to create opportunities to expand safe queer spaces in the Fairbanks community.

This summer we are focused on expanding LGBTQ+ Pride beyond just June. For our community pride is everyday and doesn't end when June does!
