To address the nutritional and economic needs of the Hawai?i community during the COVID-19 pandemic, Kupu has launched a free meal distribution program on O?ahu. Each meal is prepared fresh by our Culinary Program housed at the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Ho?okupu Center in Kewalo Basin. Since March 23, Kupu has already delivered thousands of free meals and pantry items to youth and families. Beginning with Waimanalo, the program has now expanded service to Kahalu?u and has mobilized to include additional areas of high need.

The reality is stark, but simple: Millions of Americans are out of work and struggling to put food on the table for their families.
But this moment is not without hope. We will get through this, and World Central Kitchen has seen what’s possible as we’ve fought on the front lines in Japan and California deploying systems to deliver meals to quarantined cruise ship passengers. Our Relief Team is now serving nearly 100,000 meals every day across the country, and we need you. Together, #ChefsForAmerica can make sure nobody is left behind.
As the COVID-19 situation intensifies daily, Hawaii Foodbank is facing an unprecedented challenge of providing food for people affected by the pandemic while continuing to meet the nutritional needs of 1 in 8 Hawaii residents already struggling with food insecurity.
