Agency Details:

Hawaii Foodbank, Inc.

The people of Hawaii are one "ohana." The Hawaii Foodbank provides food so that no one in our family goes hungry. We work to gather food and support from our communities. We then distribute food through charitable agencies to those in need. Our mission is from the heart, and we will fulfill our mission with integrity, humanity and aloha.

Description:
The Hawaii Foodbank is a Non profit 501(c)(3) agency. The Foodbank collects mass quantities of both perishable and nonperishable food. It distributes food items through 260 member agencies, who in turn, serve over thousands of people each week. Over 65,000 children under age 15 are hungry or at risk of hunger in Hawaii.

History:
The Hawaii Foodbank was founded in 1983 by John White. The Foodbank also operates the Ohana Produce Plus program, providing fresh produce and other needed items to agency-hosted sites around Oahu for mass distribution.

The Foodbank is a certified member of Feeding America, the national food bank network.
