T H E H A W A I I F O O D B A N K N E W S L E T T E R MARCH 2016 Donate and give more than just food. The Hawaii Foodbank mission is simple: “to provide food so that no one in our family goes hungry.” At the Hawaii Foodbank, we have seen both success stories and stories of struggle; and we experience the joy and pain that accompany them. Last year, the Hawaii Foodbank helped to provide food assistance to more than: • 123,000 households • encompassing 287,000 individuals • nearly 48,000 keiki • over 46,000 kupuna Your Foodbank donations help many others who may not know where their next meal is coming from: • Low-income families • The homeless • The working poor • The disabled • Veterans • The unemployed and underemployed • People recovering from drug, alcohol or domestic abuse You never know who you may come in contact with and what his or her story is. Hawaii Foodbank employees are no exception. As employees, we get requests to speak at different organizations. We have the opportunity to tell people about our mission and the work we are doing in the community, while encouraging them to get involved. While out on one of these speaking engagements at an elementary school in an affluent community, one of our team members recalled her experience. She was asked to speak to the individual classrooms about the Hawaii Foodbank and how important it is to participate in the Food Drive hosted by the school. During one of the classroom visits with a group of second graders, one of the students raised his hand and asked “if we don’t have enough food at our house, do we still have to donate?” As you can imagine, this was something the Hawaii Foodbank staff member never expected to hear and quickly re-directed her talk. She told the children about the Aloha United Way 211 Program. Aloha United Way 211 is Hawaii's only comprehensive, statewide community information and referral service. They offer help finding food, shelter, drug treatment, childcare, job training and much more. We received a call a couple weeks later from this young boy’s teacher telling us that, not only did they have no idea that this family was struggling, but they were able to help the family get the help they needed. For children like this young boy, the Foodbank is a necessary part of life. His family was struggling and the people around him were completely unaware.

Wong Foundation FOOD DROP OFF AREA December 8, 2015 Mahalo to the employees of DTRIC Insurance for their donation of 1,054 pounds of food this holiday season! MARCH 2016 11 HAWAII FOODBANK, INC. Nonprofit Organization U.S. Postage PAID Hawaii Foodbank 2611 Kilihau Street Honolulu, HI 96819 Phone: 808.836.3600 Fax: 808.836.2272 www.hawaiifoodbank.org email: [email protected] Helping to Feed Hawaii’s Hungry Nourishing Body and Soul Jade Moon hange is natural and inexorable. Some of us hate it and some of us embrace it. C One of the biggest changes for us at the Hawaii Foodbank occurs at the very top. Dick Grimm has moved on from his position as President and CeO, and we will miss him. Dick is a good friend. He was general manager of KGMB when I first started out as a reporter. It was during his tenure that our newsroom began the partnership with the Foodbank that exists to this day. When I left KGMB, he welcomed me on as a member of the Hawaii Foodbank Board of Directors. I’ll forever be grateful for his friendship and support. Thank you, Dick. I miss you already. But change is also a good thing when it means someone as qualified and openhearted as Gerald Shintaku steps up. You know that old saying—“he’s got some big shoes to fill?” Well, Gerald doesn’t need to fill anyone else’s shoes. He’s got some pretty BIG ones of his own. Gerald knows the food business inside and out and has served as a Foodbank board member for 16 years. It’s only right that he assumes the leadership role. 12 FEEDING OUR OHANA Welcome, Gerald! Gerald’s challenge is clear. He must deal with the changes that have beset our working class families over the last couple of decades. In many ways Hawaii has not weathered the years gracefully. The very first news report I did for the Hawaii Foodbank focused on a young family living in a tent at Sandy Beach. It was eye opening and heartbreaking to meet those kids and to see the little community of tent dwellers. Back then the sight of homeless families on various beaches was still a relative rarity for most local people. We knew they existed but – you know – out of sight, out of mind. Today the homeless not only are in our sights, they are, sadly, ubiquitous. That little clutch of tents I saw at Sandy Beach decades ago has morphed into tent cities sprawling over beaches, parks, sidewalks and whatever nook or cranny the houseless can cram themselves into. And now Hawaii, our land of beauty and aloha, our paradise, has the highest rate of homeless people per capita in the United States, according to federal statistics. How the heck did we get here?
