First Hawaiian Bank program offers support to Hawaii restaurants impacted by COVID-19
First Hawaiian Bank introduced a special program this week that offers support to Hawaii restaurants and provides up to $1 million in donations.
The Aloha for Hawaii Fund was established to support nonprofits with food supply and health and human service programs for those impacted by COVID-19, the bank said. First Hawaiian’s goal is to generate 1 million takeout order transactions at restaurants while donating up to $1 million to local nonprofits as a part of this initiative.
To participate, use any First Hawaiian debit or credit card to purchase a takeout meal in Hawaii. Each time a card is used at any Hawaii restaurant, the bank will make a donation on the card holder’s behalf to the Aloha for Hawaii Fund that supports an assortment of charities.
Those nonprofits are: Aloha Harvest, Blood Bank of Hawaii, Child and Family Service, Feeding Hawaii Together, Hawaii Foodbank, The Food Basket-Hawaii Island’s Food Bank, Hawaii Meals on Wheels, Kauai Independent Food Bank and Maui Food Bank.

Meanwhile, First Hawaiian said Friday it will cash any CARES Act stimulus check with no fees assessed, whether the bearer is an FHB customer or not.
