Mahalo for joining us for

#NourishOurOhana
Your support on Food Drive Day makes it possible to help provide food for nearly 615,000 nutritious meals.

Food Drive Day comes at a critical time. Amid shifting economic conditions and widespread funding cuts to food banks and safety net programs like SNAP, Hawaiʻi Foodbank Kauaʻi is under immense pressure to help fill the gap.

With the cost of food, housing and health care out of reach for many members of our ʻohana, demand for food assistance persists at historic levels. Hawaiʻi Foodbank Kauaʻi continues to serve roughly twice the number of people we supported before the pandemic.

Hawaiʻi Foodbank is proactively working with its partners to advocate for funding solutions, strengthen local food systems, and ensure we can continue to meeting the growing need with dignity and compassion — but we need your help.

Your support on Food Drive Day will help ensure Hawaiʻi Foodbank has the resources we need to help our families and neighbors thrive — no matter what.

History of Food Drive Day

History of Food Drive Day

Ensuring there is always enough food to feed our communities is an ongoing challenge, and we are constantly exploring creative ways to match supply with demand. That's how Food Drive Day was born. Thirty years ago, Hawaiʻi Foodbank launched the inaugural Food Drive Day at Restaurant Row to help gather more food for Hawaiʻi’s hungry. The community embraced our humble event and it ultimately grew into the highly anticipated, annual fundraising effort it is today.

Over the past three decades, Food Drive Day has grown to unite businesses, organizations, groups and individuals all over Hawaiʻi in one common cause – nourish our ʻohana. Food Drive Day now holds collection sites all over Hawaiʻi, as well as fosters more than a dozen unique Food Drive Coalitions. These Coalitions consist of companies and organizations within the same industry, and they work together to gather food and raise funds on behalf of Hawaiʻi Foodbank in the months leading up to Food Drive Day.

Hawaiʻi Foodbank's Flagship Fundraising Event

Food Drive Day is Hawaiʻi Foodbank’s largest and most highly-anticipated community engagement event. Food Drive Day raises awareness about hunger in Hawaiʻi and rallies support around Hawaiʻi Foodbank’s mission to nourish our ʻohana today and end hunger tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who’s joined us in the past and we look forward to gathering again this year!
