Pack the Plane
Sponsored by:Alaska Airlines
It's that time again for Alaska Airlines' 12th annual Pack the Plane Food Drive. During last year’s Pack the Plane food drive, Alaska and Horizon employees packed the equivalent of 25.5 cargo planes. We raised almost $130,000 in financial donations and collected more than 10,000 pounds of canned goods for local food banks, providing a half-million meals. We're virtually packing planes. The number of cargo planes we "pack" is based on overall space and weight load capacity of a Boeing 737-400 freighter aircraft. This year our communities need assistance more than ever. Please join our employees in rising up and lifting our communities with life's basic essential - food.
