Over 23,000 Hawai‘i County residents struggle with food insecurity, of which over 70% fall below the 200% poverty threshold. And, since the beginning of the pandemic, food insecurity in the state has grown by 50%. In an environment with a rich agricultural heritage and a diverse number of local farms and culinary businesses, we partner with local vendors to distribute reliable and nutritious meals to food-scarce households. Some of our programs also provide job opportunity through skills training and professional experience in the food service and agricultural sectors.
