PIC-A-Truck 2026: Our Story

Every year, hundreds of Anchorage families climb into fire trucks, meet the officers of the Anchorage Police Department, and explore heavy equipment up close at PIC-A-Truck. It's a free, joyful afternoon built for kids. But behind the sirens and the smiles, PIC-A-Truck does something bigger: it helps us reach the families who need us most.

Programs for Infants and Children (PIC) has spent more than 40 years walking alongside Anchorage families whose children have developmental delays. Through Alaska's Part C Early Intervention program, our team works with children from birth to age three, supporting the earliest years when growth and connection matter most. For many families, that support starts with a phone call at one of the hardest moments of their lives. It continues through home visits, therapy, and a team that shows up for their child again and again.

Early intervention changes outcomes. But we can't do it alone. Families raising a child with delays are often also stretching every dollar to cover basic needs, and something as simple as diapers can become out of reach. That's why PIC also runs a Diaper Pantry, distributing free diapers and wipes twice a month to families across Anchorage. What started as a small effort has grown into more than 12,500 diapers distributed every month, over 87,500 diapers and counting, because a family shouldn't have to choose between diapers and rent.

This year, PIC-A-Truck is more than a fundraiser. It's a competition, decided by you. Families told us their favorites from last year, and three teams have entered the ring: Firetruck, Police Car, and Heavy Equipment. Pick your favorite, rally your friends and family, and help your team raise the most for Anchorage's youngest kids and the families who love them. Every dollar raised supports early intervention services and keeps the Diaper Pantry shelves full.

Join a team. Make some noise for your favorite vehicle. And help us make sure every child in Anchorage gets the strongest possible start.
