HONOLULU - University of Hawai'i Athletics, in partnership with Hawaii Foodbank, will hold a contactless, drive-thru food drive on Wednesday, October 7 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Stan Sheriff Center parking lot to collect food donations to help those who are facing hunger. UH coaches and student-athletes will be on hand to say Mahalo.
Since Hawai'i's first statewide "stay at home, work at home order" on March 25, demand for food assistance has increased by nearly 60 percent. Hawai'i has the 5th highest increase in food insecurity in the United States. Your contributions will assist with meeting the nutritional needs of 1 in 6 Hawai'i residents already struggling with hunger.
Most Needed Items
· Canned Proteins (like tuna or chicken)
· Canned Meals (like stew, spaghetti or chili)
· Canned Vegetables
· Canned Fruits
· Rice
Instructions on how to donate: Fans dropping off donations are asked to put the food items in the trunk of their vehicles and remain in their cars when they pull into the Stan Sheriff Center parking loop. A food drive volunteer will come to remove the donations from the trunk.
The food drive is part of UH Athletics' 'BOWS TOGETHER theme that focuses on rebuilding and unifying our community and our department through areas such as health and safety initiatives, social justice reform, community service, and economic development programs.
