Hawaii Foodbank has been leading efforts to provide food to families in our communities for more than 30 years.
Its multiple partnerships with various organizations are essential to meeting the growing need for food assistance, especially throughout the pandemic. Its Food and Fund Drives are critical to maintaining the flow of food to those in need as they help keep their warehouse and food partner agency shelves stocked.
It’s simple to host a Food and Fund Drive, and a great way to connect with your family, friends and neighbors. Hosts will be provided with a how-to guide and checklist to make it an easy way for anyone to organize a food drive and be part of the solution.
