About Hawaii Foodbank
Hawaii Foodbank Inc’s recent grantmaking is built around one repeated purpose: FIGHT HUNGER. The largest grants in the file go to community-based providers such as Sacred Heart Church in Waianae, The Pantry by Feeding Hawaii Together in Honolulu, and Angel Network Charities, showing a funding pattern centered on local food access partners rather than a broad mix of issue areas. The grants also point to a networked response model, with churches, social service organizations, and health centers all appearing among recipients. The foundation’s work aligns with its stated aim to end hunger in Hawaiʻi by providing food assistance, nourishing families and communities, and responding to disasters and emergency needs. Recent awards range into the seven-figure level, and the grant list includes multiple years of support for the same organizations, including Central Union Church of Honolulu, Abundant Grace Church, The Pantry by Feeding Hawaii Together, and Dynamic Compassion in Action. That repeat presence suggests ongoing operating support for established food distribution partners serving food-insecure households and vulnerable communities across the islands.
What Hawaii Foodbank Funds
Hawaii Foodbank Inc concentrates on food security and hunger relief through direct-service partners. In 2025, it awarded $1,607,309 to Angel Network Charities in Honolulu for FIGHT HUNGER, and also gave $1,597,274 to Elepaio Social Services in Waianae for the same purpose. Those awards fit a model that funds organizations already embedded in neighborhood food access. Emergency food appears alongside long-term hunger relief. The foundation gave $1,507,013 to Maui County (Hawaii Foodservice Alliance) in Honolulu and $1,135,737 to Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center in Waianae, both tied to FIGHT HUNGER. Community outreach is also visible through awards to faith-based and service organizations, including $662,169 to St Jude Catholic Church in Kapolei. Across the grant list, the purpose text stays tightly linked to food assistance rather than a wider program mix.
How Hawaii Foodbank Gives
Typical grant size sits at $17,493 at the 25th percentile, $52,126 at the median, and $136,337 at the 75th percentile, even though the recent list also shows much larger awards to core partners. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off: several recipients appear in multiple years, including Central Union Church of Honolulu, Abundant Grace Church, The Pantry by Feeding Hawaii Together, Dynamic Compassion in Action, and Angel Network Charities. Hawaii Foodbank Inc is a local funder, and it does not make program-related investments or grants to individuals. The file also shows a structured, place-based grant relationship within Hawaiʻi rather than an open application model.
