Hawaii Foodbank Kaua‘i’s Flagship Fundraising Event

to help nourish our ‘ohana.
We need your kōkua to help ensure that everyone in our ‘ohana has the nourishment they need to thrive today, as we work to end hunger in Hawai‘i tomorrow.
Food Drive Day has been a virtual fundraiser for the past two years and during that time we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of so many that have connected with us across our digital platforms to support our mission. This year Food Drive Day is going hybrid—in addition to our online campaign we have added seven community donation sites. One in seven Kaua‘i residents struggles with hunger today – including 1 in 4 keiki. With the rise of inflation, and the price of groceries in Hawai‘i increasing at an alarming rate, we want to be sure that everyone has access to the food they need to thrive. Your support today, can help us ensure that every member of our ‘ohana has safe, equitable food access when they need it most.

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