Hawaii Foodbank and its neighbor island food distribution partners have received $39,771.51, or the equivalent of 66,286 pounds of rice, from 29 credit unions on Oahu, Hawaii island, Maui and Kauai.

The “Have a Rice Day” fundraising event ran from Sept. 9-Nov. 10. Each credit union gave away plastic rice paddles, imprinted with the credit union’s logo, to those who donated 20-pound bags of rice or cash equivalents.

Money received and the rice donations were distributed to Hawaii Foodbank, Maui Food Bank, The Food Basket (Hawaii island) and Hawaii Foodbank — Kauai.

More than 810,000 residents are members of credit unions in Hawaii and Guam.
