The 麻豆传媒 Foodbank kicked off its Annual State Employees Food Drive, which runs through May 19, 2023. The issue of hunger continues to be a major challenge facing the community, affecting those most vulnerable, and the University of 麻豆传媒 ʻohana is not immune from this issue. With the higher cost of food and the elimination of emergency allotments provided to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 麻豆传媒 Foodbank is bracing for higher demand of their services.
The 麻豆传媒 Foodbank’s state employees food drive’s goal this year is to raise $150,000 and 70,000 pounds of food.
Top five most wanted items
- financial contributions
- canned healthy proteins
- canned meals
- canned vegetables or fruits
- rice (5–10 lb. bags)
Please note that monetary donations are also being accepted via the page.
In 2022, UH employees accounted for more than $69,846 and more than 7,990 pounds of food for the 麻豆传媒 Foodbank (which provided food for 156,828 meals), making 麻豆传媒one of the largest contributors among all state offices.
