The Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Foodbank has kicked off its Annual State Employees Food Drive, which runs through May 14, 2021. The issue of hunger continues to be a major challenge facing our community, affecting those most vulnerable among us, and the University of Âé¶¹´«Ã½ ʻohana is not immune from this issue.
In 2020, UH employees accounted for more than $74,000 (representing 190,000+ meals) and 4,000 pounds of food for the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Foodbank, making UH one of the largest contributors among all state offices. This year, the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Foodbank’s statewide goal is to raise 35,000 pounds of food and $150,000.
The top five most wanted items are monetary contributions, canned proteins (chicken/tuna), canned meals (stew/spaghetti), canned vegetables/fruit and rice (five to ten pound bags are preferred).
