Food pantries are neighborhood sites that are often in community centers, churches and shelters, where families can receive free food. Stocked by Hawaiʻi Foodbank, they provide shelf-stable items, proteins, fresh produce, dairy, snacks and more to hundreds of people each week. Hours vary, and food is available while supplies last.

Nearly 1 in 3 keiki are not receiving enough food for an active, healthy life. Six percent of keiki are without food for whole days at a time. Hawaiʻi Foodbank’s Food 4 Keiki programs partner with schools and community organizations throughout the school year and during extended school breaks to ensure that students have the food they need to learn, grow and reach their full potential.

Many kūpuna face barriers to accessing the food they need — putting them at a higher risk of facing hunger. Hawaiʻi Foodbank is here to provide older adults living on fixed incomes with free food, more access to fresh and healthy produce, and other benefits to support an active lifestyle and healthy aging.
