That’s a wrap on another successful food distribution. 💚💪🏽

In partnership with City and County of Honolulu, Hawai‘i Foodbank, and Honolulu City & County, Department of Community Services, we held our third food distribution to help those affected by Tropical Storm Lala.

This morning, we distributed about 100,000 pounds of food and supplies to about 400 households on the West Coast of Oʻahu.

A big mahalo to The Salvation Army USA, Jill Tokuda, Rep Chris Muraoka, and the rest of our volunteers who helped distribute food to our community. We also want to give a shoutout to Zippy's, 7-Eleven, Kamehameha Bakery, and Walmart for donating meals and keeping our volunteers hydrated in the Waiʻanae heat.

And finally, we couldn’t do the work without our food suppliers and farmers. Mahalo to Aloun Farms, MAʻO Organic Farms, Hawaii Foodservice Alliance, and the Hawaiʻi Foodbank for the continuous support to feed our families on the West Side.
