Hawaii's food banks are currently assisting over 123,000 households—about one in six island residents, including more than 82,000 kids and over 46,000 seniors. Canned foods are especially needed to support food pantries, shelters, and soup kitchens throughout the islands. If you’re not able to donate food, monetary contributions are also greatly appreciated. Every $10 you give helps distribute 25 meals a day!
