Anchorage Fire Department exceeds goal for 9/11 food drive

VIDEO: The Anchorage Fire Departmentโ€™s 9/11 food drive to benefit the Food Bank of Alaska exceeded its goal by a landslide. The 9/11 food drive began on Labor Day and ran through Sept. 11. โ€œOur original goal with this first-ever 9/11 food drive was 2,977 pounds, and that represents one pound for every life that was lost during 9/11,โ€ AFD Public Safety Officer Jason Dolph said. โ€œIn just 11 days, 4,637 pounds of food poured in from AFD employees and members of the public,โ€ the Anchorage Fire Department said on Facebook, โ€œthat equates to 3,864 meals.โ€
