Kauai Food Bank Holiday Food Drive

November 21st, 2007

The Kauai Food Bank relies on donations to support their operations to provide food for the hungry. Their physical plant includes the maintenance of a 4,000 square-foot warehouse and a fleet of vehicles (including refrigerated trucks), forklifts, pallet jacks, etc. Their electricity bill exceeds $35,000 annually, primarily because of the size of their walk-in refrigerators. In addition to operational needs, they also purchase food and may pay shipping costs if needed. The Kauai Food Bank uses funds to buy and distribute food to people in need.

For every $1.00 donated, they can distribute $7.00 worth of groceries.

For every dollar donated, $0.95 feeds hungry people in Kauai County.

All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.Donor lists are not sold, rented or shared with other organizations.

Now through December 14th is their annual Holiday Food Drive. Drop off of healthy, non-perishable food items at every Fire Station on Kauai and at the Food Bank warehouse in Nawiliwili. If you’re not a resident but would still like to help, you can donate online at their website via credit card or Paypal.
