Check-Out Hunger

Nov. 3 through Jan. 15, 2024

Provide meals to local keiki, kūpuna and families this holiday season.

Check-Out Hunger

Shoppers can help put food on the table for Hawai‘i residents facing hunger this holiday season with the annual Check-Out Hunger program. This year’s campaign will take place in supermarkets on O‘ahu, Kaua‘i and Maui from Nov. 3 through Jan. 15, 2024. Hawai‘i Island residents can participate from Dec. 1 through 31.

Check-Out Hunger makes it easy for shoppers to make a major difference in the lives of local families by giving the gift of food this holiday season.

 

To participate, shoppers can add a $5, $10 or $20 donation to their grocery bill when they check out at participating grocery stores.

Contributions made during Check-Out Hunger will remain on the island on which they were collected in order to assist local keiki, kūpuna, and families. Donations will be made to one of the following local food banks: Hawai‘i Foodbank on O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Foodbank Kaua‘i on Kaua‘i, Maui Food Bank on Maui and The Food Basket on Hawai‘i Island.

Since its launch in 1993, the Check-Out Hunger program has raised more than 3 million dollars.
