About
Maui Food Bank:
The Maui Food Bank provides safe and nutritious foods to anyone in Maui County who is at risk of going hungry, fulfilling their mission with compassion, integrity, and aloha. People suffering from hunger are confronted with constant shame, worry, and insecurity about how they will feed themselves and their families. Hunger also severely impairs a child’s ability to learn, grow, and stay healthy. Of those who benefit from the Maui Food Bank, 65% have an income below the official poverty guidelines, 37% are working households, and almost 50% are single moms. Maui Food Bank has distributed over 3.25 million pounds of safe, nutritious food each year, including 900,000 pounds of fresh produce.
Why we 🤍 them: Our affection for the Maui Food Bank stems from its profound impact on the local community. With an unwavering dedication to alleviating hunger and providing nourishment, the charity's tireless efforts resonate deeply with us. The Maui Food Bank's commitment to ensuring that every individual has access to nutritious meals reflects a genuine concern for the well-being of the island's residents. Through its food distribution programs, partnerships, and outreach initiatives, the organization has become a beacon of compassion and solidarity, addressing a fundamental need and fostering a sense of togetherness. We are inspired by the Maui Food Bank's relentless pursuit of a hunger-free Maui, and its meaningful contributions exemplify the spirit of aloha in action.
