American Seafoods Relaunches $150K Grant Program for Western Alaska
American Seafoods Group relaunched its grant program last week, now known as the American Seafoods Community Partnership Program. American Seafoods is the largest at-sea processor of wild Alaska pollock and hake in the U.S. and is based in Seattle, Washington. The program provides donations to organizations and groups in Western Alaska to fund community projects that address food security and other needs and will provide almost double the amount in grant funding under the new name. Under the program’s original name (Western Alaska Community Grant Program), American Seafoods stated, “Our goal is to provide assistance and financial support to organizations that are making a real difference in the communities where we operate.” According to sources, the rebranded initiative demonstrates American Seafoods’ long-standing commitment to supporting Western Alaska communities. As part of the launch, the company is increasing its donation total from $90,000 per year to $150,000 per year, with $75,000 total to be awarded every six months. The program has existed since 1997 and has granted over $2 million to organizations and programs in the state. The company’s CEO, Einar Gustafsson, stated that the program began in the 90s out of a desire to help Alaskan communities. “American Seafoods depends on our Alaskan communities and our Alaskan crew members, and this new name change, revamped focus, and the increased monetary contribution further highlights our commitment to partnering with and giving back to Western Alaska. Over the years, American Seafoods’ contributions have made a significant impact, and we look forward to continuing as we sustainably harvest wild Alaska pollock.” Past program beneficiaries include the Bristol Bay Native Association Food Bank and Kodiak, Alaska’s Brother Francis Shelter. The company will accept applications through September 16, 2024; most awards will range from $1000 to $7500 each. Applications will be accepted for the following regions: Kodiak Island, Aleutian and Pribilof Islands/Western Alaska Peninsula, Bristol Bay, Lower Kuskokwim, Lower Yukon, Norton Sound, and communities north.
As King County moves to reopen Kent hotel for the unhoused, asylum-seekers hope they won’t be forgotten
King County is in the process of reopening a shuttered Econo Lodge hotel in Kent, once used to shelter unhoused people during the pandemic. But the asylum-seekers who have camped next to the hotel for several months are unlikely to benefit from its doors reopening. Instead, it’ll likely be prioritized for people passing through the King County Regional Homeless Authority’s re-housing program. But that’s if the county successfully navigates the six-month permitting and funding process. Meanwhile, the county expects an upcoming state migrant program to help house asylum-seekers before the hotel is operational. That’s according to an update from the King County Executive Office, read to asylum-seekers by county councilmember Girmay Zahilay at council chambers Tuesday. “Millions of dollars have been invested and families have been relocated, and of course, not quickly enough,” Zahilay said. “And enough hasn’t happened but we continue to be committed to this issue and we thank you for coming here to make your voice heard about this really important topic.”
