School pantry program helps keep keiki fed during summer
The Hawaii Foodbank is providing food to pantries at 35 Oahu schools to supplement the meals of students who don’t get enough food at home, including during the summer months when a school lunch is not available. The Food 4 Keiki School Pantry Program and three other food bank plans are meant to take the bite out of the bitter finding that nearly 1 in 3 households in the state experienced food insecurity in 2023, according to a Hawaii Foodbank report.
