Black & gold sparkle graphic with text reading: 74,327 meals served at the Stone Soup Cafe in 2026
Our soup kitchen served 74,327 meals in 2025... thousands & thousands more than any previous year in the Bread Line's history of feeding #Fairbanks.
I am deeply proud of how this team shows up & we're not enough. The ongoing elevation of community need is alarming.

It's wild - today, the soup kitchen passed last year's TOTAL meals served (66,603)... with a month & a half left in 2025.

Three pigeons enjoying a bowl of uncooked oats, behind the soup kitchen, on a snowy ledge. Two are busy eating while the third - on the far left - stares directly at the camera.
A scraggl, greasy looking sweetheart of a city pigeon stands on the back hatch of a silver SUV. You can't hear it now, but it was making the softest little "meep meep"sounds. Behind the bird is a large green traffic sign & a liquor store that's across a four-lane road.
An exceptionally regal city pigeon sits up close, on the top of an open car door. Behind it is the back of a building & a small snowy lot.
I MADE SO MANY FRIENDS TODAY

A hand holds a hotdog (with mustard) on a Hawaiian roll
Breakfast of champions, soup kitchen staff style: hot dog on a Hawaiian roll. We served 182 hot meals this morning & 200 sack lunches... ran out of everything but a couple franks.

Eight people were able to access new-to-them donated bicycles & dozens more got their rides rolling right with the help of local volunteer mechanics from Bankstown, UAF Green Bikes & Bread Line.
Between this, Green Up & Clean Up Day I can't imagine a more perfect Saturday.

A hand holds up a glass jar full of crystal clear birch sap in front of a plant covered office wall. A bunting banner made of letters cut out of paper reads "BREAD LINE"
Today, the soup kitchen had a singalong of "Losing My Religion" SO HEARTFELT that I worried we'd have a riot. Also, someone donated 2 gallons of birch water. #JustSoupKitchenThings

A nine panel collage of alaskannah's years at the Bread Line: smiling with a volunteer on the meal service line, filling in for the morning chef, a ladybug at the community garden, with volunteers at an outreach event, the front of the Bread Line when the next-door building was on fire, pretending that spilled/frozen soup is vomit with volunteers, flipping off the grease trap, showing a big bruise on their tricep after biting it in the kitchen & wearing a mask outside City Hall before testifying to the Council.
Today is my 9th anniversary at the Bread Line - this is the hardest & most rewarding thing I've ever done in my big blessed life.
If you want to get support this rickety rackety little soup kitchen that could, check out breadlineak.org - our monthly newsletters are great. #JustSoupKitchenThings

Screenshot of a post from alaskannah's Facebook dated 4/8/20. Text reads: "To the shitwit who *tried* to steal my truck from outside the soup kitchen: chump, I got mine & now I've got yours, too."
Happy five-year anniversary to the time I ran a truck thief down, coming out of it with my truck & his meth pipe #JustSoupKitchenThings

A collage of random non-food donations recently made to the soup kitchen
Recent non-food donations dropped off at the soup kitchen: a big knife, a short story, LOTS of very old weed, one even older porno mag & part of a fancy building? #JustSoupKitchenThings

A bicycle sits upside down, minus a front wheel, in front of a long table with colorful chairs.
About 45 people & a bookstore worked together to get a set of studded tires to a friend of the soup kitchen. He's stoked & I fucking love commUNITY.

A time traveler told me today that I've died "at least three times before" & my past selves are all trying to direct me to the future. Like, my guy, it's not even 8AM but I'm glad to hear that I've got my back. #JustSoupKitchenThings
