"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." Mission Statement Hawaii Foodbank
The Hawaii Foodbank in partnership with the food industry and community serves as a link between charities and those in need of food assistance. Our drivers collect food from supermarkets, distributors and wholesalers and bring them to our warehouse for inspection and sorting. Goods are then available for distribution to 250 charitable agencies on Oahu to feed our hungry.
The Hawaii Foodbank network serves the elderly, families, children and those facing financial crises each week. Hawaii's hungry are people of diverse ethnic backgrounds, ages and economic status. For a more detailed profile on Hawaii's hungry, see the results of "Hunger in America 2001" a study done by America's Second Harvest, the national food bank network.
Last year, the Hawaii Foodbank distributed 8.2 million pounds of food. In addition, 1.6 million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables were distributed through the Hawaii Foodbank's Ohana Produce Program. Follow these links to see charts of where the food comes from, and where the food is distributed.
The Hawaii Foodbank is a certified member of America's Second Harvest and operates as the official food bank in the State of Hawaii. To distribute food to the neighbor islands, we work with three subsidiary organizations: The Food Basket on the Big Island of Hawaii, the Maui Community Food Bank, and the Kauai Food Bank.
The Hawaii Foodbank collects and distributes many canned goods. However, we also offer perishable items such as milk and dairy products, eggs, beef, chicken and fish. All of these items are stored in our warehouse refrigerator and freezer units.
In addition, the Hawaii Foodbank distributes fresh fruits and vegetables through the Ohana Produce Program visiting sites in Waianae, Nanakuli, Waialua, Ewa Beach, Waimanalo and Kalihi.
