Survivor Daily Rations (SDRs) will be available for pickup at Hawai‘i Foodbank on Sunday, Oct. 25.

SDRs are shelf-stable, ready-to-eat meals that can be stored for long periods of time — especially helpful in emergencies when resources are limited.

To ensure everyone’s safety, this distribution is drive-thru only and requires a vehicle for pickup. No walk-ups will be permitted.

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please only register once per household.

Hawai‘i Foodbank joined Amazon at its Sand Island Delivery Station to celebrate one year of next-day delivery on O‘ahu.

In honor of the anniversary milestone, Amazon employees and guests shared their aloha and appreciation for the community by packing School Pantry boxes to help nourish keiki and their families.

Through our partnership with Amazon, we're able to move more food and essential supplies into our communities when families need them most – including emergency hygiene kits during the Kona Low response.

Mahalo to for your continued partnership and for including us in this special celebration!

Last week, the Coalition for Local Food Security gathered for sign-waving before the UH football game to raise awareness about the proposed Food Security Fund.

As you prepare to vote, here's what a YES vote on Question No. 1 would mean for Oʻahu families:

• Dedicate 0.5% of existing property tax revenues to a Food Security Fund – without creating a new tax or raising existing taxes.
• Support city programs, grants and subsidies that connect neighbors facing food insecurity with Hawaiʻi-grown food, strengthen local farms and the local economy, and reduce reliance on imported food.
• Allow the purchase of non-local food during declared emergencies.

This general election, Honolulu voters will decide whether to require annual funding for a Food Security Fund supporting programs and grants that provide locally grown or produced food to Oʻahu residents. Food from outside Hawaiʻi would be eligible through this fund only during emergencies. This funding would come from 0.5% of existing property tax revenues — not a new tax.

Look for Question No. 1 on your ballot and vote YES for local food security.

Last week, we celebrated the grand opening of the Kahuku High & Intermediate School school pantry!

Through Hawai‘i Foodbank’s Food 4 Keiki School Pantry program, Kahuku High and Intermediate School students and families now have regular access to fresh food and pantry staples to nourish the whole ‘ohana beyond the school day.

Mahalo to the generous donors who made this pantry possible and to our community partners for supporting our keiki: LāHui Foundation, Target Windward Mall and Just Serve Hawaiʻi.

This year, eight amazing teams built their Canstruction® structures around the theme CANtennial: Design of the Decades, in honor of AIA Honolulu (American Institute of Architects, Honolulu Chapter)’s 100th anniversary!

All cans used in the builds were donated to Hawai‘i Foodbank to help nourish our community — totaling over 17,000 pounds of food! Combined with the generous monetary donations from People’s Choice voting, Canstruction® 2026 raised enough to provide 68,000 meals for our neighbors and families in need.

The outpouring of support through your votes and donations is truly heartwarming. Hats off to the architects and builders for their creativity and dedication to ending hunger in Hawaiʻi.

Mahalo! See you next year!

What would Question 1 mean for food security on O'ahu?

On November 3rd, O'ahu voters will decide whether the city should set aside funding each year for a Food Security Fund.

If approved, the fund would support programs that improve access to locally grown and produced food.

During a declared emergency, a limited portion could also be used to purchase food when impacted communities need it most.

Watch for a quick overview, then read the full ballot question by visiting YesOnLocalFoodSecurity.org.
