Read Our Annual Report

For 40 years, Hawai‘i Foodbank has been synonymous with getting food in the hands of those in need. We believe that consistent access to safe and healthy food is a fundamental human right, and the Foodbank has been working to ensure that no one goes hungry in our communities for four decades now. Looking forward, we are working to broaden our reach by building capacity, strengthening support to our partner networks, pursuing advocacy and outreach opportunities, purchasing more food, and, most importantly, building connections.
