We apologize for the technical difficulties. We are trying to contact Facebook and ask them to please take down this second page which does not contain all of our information and they have not responded.
Pahoa Pantry and Soup Kitchen is a non profit community based organization whose helpers are all non paid volunteers with financial assistance from private donors. We serve food to everyone (including the needy and homeless) at the Pahoa Community Center on Tuesdays and Fridays from 4:30 p.m., first come, first served. A NEW food pantry will be opened on the second Friday of the month, Kalapana Mauna Kea Church will than run the soup kitchen for us at the same time as our pantry, and we will be giving out free grocery bags to single people, couples, and families. The new Pahoa Pantry intent is to give out 40,000 pounds of groceries in the remaining 2015 year.
The PPSK has been in Pahoa serving the needy and affected during both hurricanes of last year, the lava flow (which displaced many) and has been volunteering and donating in this capacity for 5 years.
We stood side by side with FEMA and the American Red Cross during these natural disasters and are still here serving our community. We have not left.
We are feeding and assisting the homeless, those who are on government assistance who run out of food by the end of the month, mothers and fathers who are not able to adequately feed their families who come to our soup kitchen and will get 6 plates of food to bring back to their cars for their kids, and even the kids hanging out at the pool and skate park who are just hungry and we provide a hot and nutritious meal for.
A donation of $10 can buy the necessities needed to serve people for a week at our soup kitchen.
Let's all work together to combat hunger in Puna!
