Aloha In Action

Food Distribution

In partnership with 14 community-led distribution sites—and with generous support from islandwide donors, Hawaiʻi Foodservice Alliance, Costco, Hilo Products, Frank’s Foods, the Kohala Food Hub, and KTA—we are coming together to meet the urgent needs of our island community.

For residents in other areas of the island, The Hawaiʻi Island Food Basket is conducting

ʻOhana Food Drops in Hilo, Pāhoa, Nāʻālehu, Oceanview, Kona, and Waimea.
