Good morning, Anchorage.

Kaladi Brothers and Covenant House teamed up for the Dale Tran New Year’s Day of Giving held yesterday, donating 100% of beverage sales at cafes and 50% of online coffee orders to help those in need.

The event, honoring a long-standing community tradition, aimed to raise $100,000 for Covenant House.

Alaska Botanical Gardens is hosting its fifth annual ice sculpture competition where expert and first-time carvers turn frozen blocks into imaginative art, and community members will vote on their favorite pieces this weekend (a fun holiday display).

Anchorage neighborhoods have received a $12K grant from the Beyond the Beige program to fund art installations that bring color to everyday spaces.

The Northeast Community Council plans to install steel bike racks shaped like salmon, moose, and bear at Chanshtnu Muldoon Park in 2026 (fundraising continues).

Alaskan residents who lived in the state in 2025 may file online for the 2026 Permanent Fund dividend until March 31.

The dividend amount will be set by Gov. Dunleavy and lawmakers during the session beginning Jan. 20 for over 600,000 eligible applicants.
