Thank You tomk.
A check or money order can be made out to: Pahoa Pantry & Soup Kitchen
P.O. Box 2082
Pahoa, Hi 96778
Every penny of your contribution will go to the preparing, transporting and/or buying of food at a huge discount as a 5 year account holder at the Hawaii Island Food Basket. We make most purchases at 18 cents a pound as a 501 © (3) non profit. We get our chicken and beef for free (based on our records kept through sign in of how many people are fed), our salads and vegetables are paid for and prepared by our volunteers along with our desserts, and we can supplement this with our purchases at the HIFB of rice, pasta, bread, produce, bottled water, etc... We were really depleted of our resources after both hurricanes of last year along with those feeling displacement during the lava flow but because of a generous single donation, we are back stronger than ever.
For your information, we will be picking up over half a ton of food (1,000 lbs) this Friday which we will be distributing to needy individuals and families in grocery packages at the Pahoa Community Center at 4:30 p.m. while partnering up simultaneously with Kalapana Mauna Kea Church who will run the soup kitchen.
tomk please come out if you have a chance and share in a meal, fun, and fellowship with our wonderful team.
We invite the public to prepare a dish (maybe a dessert, salad, or entree), bring fruits or vegetables from your garden, make a donation (and a donation through this program can go a long way and truly make a difference), or just bring yourself down and see how happy and joyful our local residents are when warmth, comfort and aloha are extended to those, who at these times, may need it the most.
This is a great worthwhile community based experience to be a part of.
