Join us at the
Iditarod Finish Line
​in Alaska! 

Join Alaska Missions for our twenty-first year at the Iditarod finish line. Our mission is twofold: to reach the local musher and the Indigenous populations of the Bering Straits Region.

Mushing Community: We cheer on mushers as they cross the finish line, support the volunteer force of the Iditarod, and help care for dropped dogs and race finishers. We function as the race's volunteer infrastructure for the Iditarod Trail Committee and have a long-standing relationship of mutual trust and respect with the Iditarod leadership.
Local Community of Nome: We serve the local Indigenous populations in several ways. We meet needs by helping with concessions at a large village basketball tournament, working with a children's home, and serving at the Women's Shelter, a halfway house, and a homeless shelter. We hope to bring hope and healing to the brokenhearted and push back the darkness with the light of the world.

 WE WILL SERVE AND GIVE over and over.
