Mission: The people of Hawaii are one ohana. The Hawaii Foodbank provides food so that no one in our family goes hungry. We work to gather food and support from our communities. We then distribute food through charitable agencies to those in need. Our mission is from the heart, and we will fulfill our mission with integrity, humanity and aloha. Founded in 1982, Hawaii Foodbank sources food through donations, purchase, and government commodities, and provides food to those in need through its network of more than 200 charitable partner agencies. The Foodbank directly serves the islands of Oahu and Kauai, and partners with The Food Basket and Maui Food Bank to serve Hawaii and Maui Counties. It is a member of Feeding America. (Less)

Hawaii Foodbank is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1986, and donations are tax-deductible.
