Our Team

Hawai‘i Foodbank employs more than 60 people in our warehouses and offices on O‘ahu and Kaua‘i – working together to serve the needs of our communities and support our network of food partner agencies. Together with the help of a dedicated Board of Directors and our Alaka‘i group of young leaders, we work to ensure that no one in our ‘ohana goes hungry.
