The organization says the decision was made after consulting with local health leaders about the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19.
Those who want to help can do so in three ways:
- Visit the Hawaii Foodbank’s website and donate food virtually.
- Spread awareness on social media.
- Make a monetary donation to the Hawaii Foodbank online.
Since the start of the pandemic, the Hawaii Foodbank has purchased more than $4.75 million in emergency food, compared to its typical annual budget of $400,000.
