Emergency food distribution tomorrow, open to everyone who needs it.

Monday, August 17, 8 AM to 3 PM at both Food Basket warehouses. No sign up and no list.

Hilo warehouse, 40 Holomua St
Kona warehouse, 73-4161 Ulu Wini Pl, Kailua-Kona

Lala hit our island hard, and closed roads are still keeping us out of some communities. We are Hawaiʻi Island's food bank. Until those roads open and our trucks can get in safely, food moves from both warehouses. The moment that changes, we will post community locations and times right here.

For road status, call Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense at (808) 935-0031.

Know somebody who got hit? Share this post or send it to them. Check on your neighbors and kūpuna.
