Hawai‘i Foodbank is planning the 2024 Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) for in-need keiki across O‘ahu, which will offer weekly boxes of food to eligible O‘ahu children and youth 18 years of age and under who would otherwise experience challenges to food access during the summer months.

Hawai‘i Foodbank is seeking proposals from qualified food vendors to provide shelf-stable, multi-day meal boxes containing seven breakfasts and seven lunches for children. Boxes must contain all food and beverage components to meet or exceed the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s SFSP meal pattern (see Request for Proposal for details). We wish to purchase a complete box ready to hand out to a child with seven days of breakfasts and lunches including UHT milk. Meal boxes must either contain complete meal kits or ingredients that a child could easily prepare independently. A variety of meals or ingredients should be included in the box so children will not be eating the same meal each day; a minimum of components for 3 unique breakfasts and 3 unique lunches should be included in the box.
