Kaukau 4 Keiki

Through Kaukau 4 Keiki, Hawaiʻi Foodbank provides nutritious meals to children during the summer break.

In partnership with the Hawaiʻi State Department of Education’s (HIDOE) Hawaiʻi Child Nutrition Programs, Kaukau 4 Keiki is a summer meal box program that provides nutritious meals to children across Hawaiʻi during the summer break. Kaukau 4 Keiki provides keiki with nutritious meal boxes filled with groceries to prepare seven days of breakfast and lunch for one child — including shelf-stable fruits and vegetables, proteins, starches, milk, fresh produce, bread and more.

Kaukau 4 Keiki is available in rural communities where students may not be able to get to a summer meal location each day for breakfast and lunch. This summer, Hawaiʻi Foodbank will be providing meal boxes at six Kaukau 4 Keiki food distribution sites from June 2 through Aug. 1.

“I personally am filled with appreciation for being part of this summer program, which benefitted my own ’ohana tremendously. The food came in handy as, some days, we were out of EBT benefits and no longer getting meals from summer school. On those days, it was so beneficial to be able to pop open a box and be able to feed my kids those nutritious meals.”
