In less than six months after Hawaii’s first COVID-19 cases surfaced, the Hawaii Foodbank distributed more than 13 million pounds of food on Oahu and Kauai. In all of 2019, it distributed just more than 12 million pounds. It’s unsettling that due to demand, the food bank is now on pace for an October total of 3 million pounds.
In an effort targeting high-need communities, ZIP-code-based pop-up distribution events are being scheduled, with the first being held today at First Presbyterian Church of Honolulu at Ko‘olau. The next one is slated for Nov. 7 at Waianae Mall. For more information, visit HawaiiFoodbank.org or call 836-3600.
