Food Drive Day
Mahalo for Joining Us On
#NourishOurOhana
Your support on Food Drive Day makes it possible to help provide Kaua‘i families with food for more 28,000 nutritious meals.
More than one quarter of the food Hawai‘i Foodbank Kaua‘i distributes is fresh, healthy produce – and you are helping us provide even more. This year’s Food Drive Day campaign was dedicated to raising funds to provide our families with more fresh produce. That means your support will help improve access to healthy food for the most vulnerable members of our ‘ohana.
Together with our extraordinary community and a generous matching gift from First Hawaiian Bank, this year’s Food Drive campaign on Kaua‘i raised over $11,000 and gathered two tons of food — making it possible to provide food more than 28,000 nutritious meals.
Donations made toward this year’s Food Drive Day will go towards the purchase of nutritious fruits and vegetables that will nourish local families, keiki and kūpuna.

Looking For a Stylish Way to Support Food Drive Day?
Did you know Hawai‘i Foodbank Kaua‘i releases a limited-edition t-shirt every year? This year’s special t-shirt is made in collaboration with acclaimed artist Kamea Hadar. Hadar’s artwork for the Foodbank, titled “Nourish,” depicts a heart-shaped kalo leaf – representing the important role food plays not only in providing physical nourishment but also in nourishing a deeper connection with each other, our sense of place and a better tomorrow.
Proceeds from t-shirt sales allow us to provide more meals and support to the communities we serve.
