Aloha Harvest
About the organizer
In Hawai`i, about 1 in 5 people depend on food pantries for assistance. Yet approximately 237,000 tons of food – or 26% of the available food supply – is wasted annually. We exist to fill this gap – to connect good food with people who need it, instead of letting it go to waste. We have a small office staff and 7 drivers of large refrigerated trucks, along with volunteers.Help Feed Oʻahu
Instead of letting your food go to waste, join Aloha Harvest in collecting and redistributing food to nourish and strengthen our community on Oʻahu.
