Palmer's food assistance spans three organizations: the Palmer Food Bank downtown on S Valley Way with weekday-afternoon hours, the Salvation Army's Mat-Su corps running drive-through pantry service on the Palmer-Wasilla Highway, and the Mat-Su Food Bank in Wasilla anchoring the borough's wider network with a published valley-wide distribution calendar.
Palmer's Two Pantries
The Palmer Food Bank at 221 S Valley Way posts hours of Monday through Thursday, 1–5 p.m. — walk in during open hours and volunteers guide you through the process; call (907) 746-3565. The Salvation Army Mat-Su corps at 12271 E Palmer-Wasilla Hwy — (907) 745-7079 — has operated its pantry drive-through style; call for current distribution days.
The Valley-Wide Network
The Mat-Su Food Bank in Wasilla serves the borough Monday–Friday 10 a.m.–1 p.m. plus the third Saturday of each month, and the valley's food coalition publishes a pantry map and monthly distribution calendar covering Palmer, Wasilla, Big Lake, and Sutton — useful because distribution days are staggered across the valley. Alaska 211 fills in anything current.
