“Food insecurity can affect anyone, often when they least expect it. With so many Hawaii residents living paycheck to paycheck, an unexpected car repair, medical expense, or loss of income can leave a family struggling to afford food. Hawaii Foodbank is here to ensure everyone in our community has access to the food they need to thrive. The generosity of our community through Food Drive Day helps make that possible,” add Miller.
