Hawai‘i Foodbank's Flagship Fundraising Event
For more than 30 years, Food Drive Day has played an integral role in Hawai‘i Foodbank’s mission to nourish our ‘ohana. After pivoting to our virtual platforms for the past two years, we were excited to host our first hybrid Annual Food Drive Day event and campaign. On Saturday, August 27, our local and global ‘ohana came together in the fight against hunger. Mahalo to everyone that joined our campaign online and in-person during the month of August. We are overwhelmed by the generosity and outpouring of support that we witnessed on our virtual platforms and at each collection site across the state.

Your kōkua helps ensure that everyone in our ‘ohana has the nourishment they need to thrive today.
On Food Drive Day alone – in less than 24 hours, with the collective support of our staff, hundreds of volunteers, partners, and our community – we were able to collect over 20,000 pounds of food and nearly $43,000 at the four collection sites on O‘ahu and the seven collection sites on Kaua‘i this year, in addition to the nearly $82,000 in statewide online donations – allowing Hawai‘i Foodbank to provide food for over 285,000 meals to the people we serve.

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, Hawai‘i Foodbank launched the inaugural Food Drive Day at Restaurant Row to help gather more food for Hawai‘i’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 Hawai‘i in one common cause – nourish our ‘ohana. Food Drive Day now holds collection sites all over Hawai‘i, 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 Hawai‘i Foodbank in the months leading up to Food Drive Day.
