Who We Are Serving

   Helping Hands Alaska is a missionary support organization founded by Jason & Jonie Mellinger, (Jason is originally from Parkesburg, PA!) and based in North Pole, AK. They provide services to village pastors and missionaries serving in the remote Alaskan bush including:

  • Logistics: HHA arranges charter flights, airport pick ups, and transports people and supplies all over the state via bus, van, truck, or airplane. 
  • Food supplies: HHA has a newly built warehouse where missionaries can get needed supplies free of charge. They also pack and ship pallets and boxes of groceries and supplies, and ship them via air freight or river barge to missionaries serving off the road system. 
  • Equipment: HHA has a huge array of construction and mechanical tools & equipment which are frequently shipped to various villages during expansion projects. 
  • Repair Services: Jason is an experienced aviation mechanic, a certified Toyotomi technician, and provides missionaries with plumbing, heating, and electrical repairs.
  • Building Projects: HHA provides building drawings and material lists for village construction projects, along with coordinating and transporting teams of construction volunteers all over Alaska.
  • Housing: Jason & Jonie currently offer about 30 beds along with washhouse facilities to accommodate missionaries and work teams coming and going from the villages. They've hosted as many as 70 people at one time, and are needing to expand this part of their ministry!
