Statewide coalition of member pregnancy centers (Anchorage, Fairbanks, Homer, Kenai, Sitka, Wasilla, Eagle River, Glenallen, Juneau, Valdez and more); its 'Where We Serve' page gives each center's address, phone and hours.
Must the father help pay for the pregnancy? No. No Alaska statute expressly makes the father pay pregnancy or birth costs or support before birth; bills for pregnancy and childbirth costs can be used as evidence in a paternity case, and a temporary support order is possible once paternity is clear.

Alaska Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED), Department of Revenue: establish paternity and support
In Alaska a parent can safely hand over a newborn up to Under 21 days old. Where: Peace officers, community health aides, physicians, hospital employees, on-duty fire department or EMS personnel, or a person the parent reasonably believes will care for the baby. You can stay anonymous.
Adoption is another loving option; a pregnancy center above can connect you with adoption help.
More centers (call to confirm)
These are listed in Heartbeat International's Option Line directory, but we couldn't confirm the phone number on the center's own website. Call before you go.
Small number of centers, so rural coverage is thin; women outside these towns should contact the Alaska Pregnancy Center Coalition. Other coalition members not listed here because their own websites did not clearly list services or could not be loaded: Heart to Heart PRC, Eagle River ((907) 694-1747 per its site), Sitka Pregnancy Center, Water's Edge (Homer), Little Sparrow (Valdez), Copper Basin (Glenallen). Kodiak and Hannah's Place are listed by the coalition as closed. ABC Life Choices' own site gives (907) 283-9062 and ZIP 99611, which differ from the coalition page.
