King of the River

Carl's Jr. Lot Adjacent to the Safeway Parking Lot for Kenai; Blazy Mall for Soldotna

Who will be the King of the River? Kenai or Soldotna? Let’s find out! July 2, 2023, from 12:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Kenai and Soldotna will compete to see which city is able to gather the most non-perishable food and monetary donations for the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank. Every $1 donated is equal to about 1 pound of food. There will be two locations (Carl’s Jr lot in Kenai and Blazy Mall in Soldotna) for individuals to donate food or money—just look for the KPFB trucks. Although the competition will take place on the 2nd, donations will be accepted for a week leading up to the event on-site at the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank, just tell them which city you’re donating from. Anyone who donates will be entered into a drawing to win $1,000. The winner will be drawn at the Oilers game on July 4, 2023. Depending on which city wins the King of the River food drive, that city’s mayor will be throwing the first pitch of the game. So, stock up on non-perishable food goods to donate and help your city win! Drop off donations the week leading up to the event at the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank--starting June 26th.
