Food Basket distributions at Waimea, Kea’au, Kohala this week

The Hawaii Island Food Basket will do food distribution events at three island locations this week:

  •  Waimea District Park, Tuesday, December 1, starting at 10 a.m.
  •  Kea’au High School, Wednesday, December 2, starting at 10 a.m.
  •   Kamehameha Park in Kohala, Thursday, December 3, starting at 10 a.m.

Kristin Frost Albrecht, Executive Director of the Hawaii Island Food Basket, says there are many more people who need food on the island now, with the COVID-19 pandemic, many people losing their jobs because of it, and the unemployment insurance in some cases running out and no new federal assistance at this time.  She says the Food Basket is ready to help, and encourages anybody who is hungry to come.  She says there is no shame in needing help.

Leave space in your trunk or back seat for the volunteers to put the food.  And please wear a mask.
