Our Mission
The people of Hawaii are one
ohana. The Hawaii Foodbank
provides food so that no one in
our family goes hungry.
We work to gather food and
support from our communities.
We then distribute food through
charitable agencies to those in
need. Our mission is from the
heart, and we will fulfill our
mission with integrity, humanity
and aloha.

On the second Saturday in May every year, U.S. residents
donate nonperishable food items for letter carriers to
collect in a nationwide campaign to benefit community
food banks. While this tradition of community service
occurs annually, few of us are aware of how the National
Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food
Drive got started. The pilot drive in October 1991 emerged
from conducive engagements between AFL-CIO President
Vincent Sombroto and Postmaster General Anthony
Frank which expanded into the biggest single-day food
collection in the country. Since its official conception in
1992 through last year, the NALC Food Drive has
contributed more than 1.4 billion pounds of food to feed
the hungry, particularly the children in need who don’t
have access to subsidized school lunch programs in the
summer. This year’s 24th Annual NALC Stamp Out
Hunger Food Drive held on Saturday, May 14, 2016, is
expected to exceed last year’s national total of 71 million
pounds, estimated to be worth $150 million.
In Hawaii, Letter Carriers have come together to benefit
local food banks: Hawaii Foodbank, Hawaii Foodbank –
Kauai Branch, The Food Basket on the Big Island and
Maui Food Bank to provide food for pantries, shelters and
agencies. The statewide coordinated effort led by the NALC
Committee of Hawaii including Terry Kaolulo, HSALC
President, NALC Food Drive Co-Chairs Adele
Yoshikawa of the Pearl City Post Office, Cynthia Ichizaki
of the Downtown Post Office, Clay Tamaki, Catherine
Lederer, The Hawaii State AFL-CIO, LCSP Director, and
Stan Markle, Director of Product Resourcing of Hawaii
Foodbank organized with various unions and sponsors to
ensure the success of this year’s Stamp Out Hunger food
drive. During the week of May 9 approaching the event,
plastic bags sponsored by the Hawaii State AFL-CIO,
McDonalds of Hawaii, Menehune Water Company and
Honolulu Freight Service were delivered to mailing
residences and P.O. Boxes statewide. In addition, nearly
200,000 announcements sponsored by the Hawaii State
AFL-CIO, McDonalds of Hawaii, Menehune Water
Company and Service Printers Hawaii along with the
support of the DOE, HSTA and HGEA were distributed to
students at over 400 public, private and charter schools
across the state. The Hawaii State AFL-CIO’s Labor
Community Services Program coordinated volunteers
consisting of HGEA AFSCME Local 152, HSTA-R and ILWU
Local 142 retirees to meet at IBEW 1186 to assemble the
flyers for statewide distribution.
COOPERATION
Together on the day of the NALC Food Drive, letter
carriers gathered and stored food donations at postal
stations throughout Oahu. Trucks provided by
Anheuser-Busch Sales of Hawaii, Armstrong Produce,
Hawaii Foodservice Alliance, Hawaii Logistics,
Hawaii Transfer Company, HFM FoodService,
Honolulu Freight Service, Meadow Gold Dairies,
Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Hawaii, Royal
Hawaiian Movers and WDI transported food donations
picked up from post offices were received at the Hawaii
Foodbank where nearly 500 volunteers worked
tirelessly for 6 hours with the warehouse staff to unload,
weigh, sort, box, palletize, wrap and store the collected
nonperishables. In the evening, Koala Moa Chicken
dinner plates provided by Kaiser Permanente were
served to all of the hardworking participants.

On March 19, 2016, the Hawaii Foodbank
warehouse transformed into a brimming hub to host
nearly 800 guests for an evening of Epicurean
delight. The 10th annual signature culinary event,
Great Chefs® Fight Hunger showcased a brilliant
ensemble of over 20 of Hawaii’s culinary masters
that gathered to dazzle the senses and nourish our
community.
At this year’s annual
fundraiser, Great Chefs® Fight
Hunger Ilima and Hibiscus
ticketholders were escorted to
their tables by our talented
and lovely title holders: Miss
Hawaii United Continents
Easter-Lily Smith, Miss
Kaka'ako Halialani Parish,
and Miss Diamond Head
Teisa Worley. Our Ilima
Premium VIP table purchasers
– Mrs. Joan Bellinger, HFM
FoodService, HMSA and The
Shidler Group and their
guests – enjoyed table and
premium wine service under
the direction of Gary Manago
from Hilton Waikiki Beach
and Hawaii Foodbank
volunteers. Our outdoor VIP
section was expanded again,
which allowed many Hibiscus
VIP guests to purchase tables
and sit comfortably with their
groups to enjoy the cuisine
and music under a special tent.

Throughout the evening, stages inside the warehouse and
outside under the Hibiscus Tent featured live
entertainment by multi-instrumentalist Jazzy Jay, the
talented Osorio ’Ohana, sultry folk
and soul singer Tahiti Rey, veteran
rock group WREKT, and young
indie rockers The Fresh Preps.
Carlsmith Ball LLP
The annual Silent Auction
featured many items, such as gift
certificates for culinary
experiences at venues like
Morimoto Waikiki, Orchids at
the Halekulani, and Michel’s at
the Colony Surf, cultural
experiences from places like Star
of Honolulu Cruises & Events,
Polynesian Cultural Center, and
Diamond Head Theatre, hotel
stays at Ala Moana Hotel and
Hilton Waikiki Beach, and
transit passes to ship vehicles to
the mainland from Pasha
Hawaii. The hottest bidding war
was again over a pair of Business
Class Tickets from our Travel
Sponsor United Airlines.
Guests chatted up local
celebrity chefs at restaurant
stations throughout the
warehouse and tasted
delicious creations like Roy’s
Hawaii Chef Lyndsey
Simone’s Japanese hamachi
crudo with petite seafood salsa and preserved
lemon, Mac 24/7 Chef James Aptakin’s Thai grilled
kalbi steak salad, and 12th Ave Grill Chef Kevin
Hanney’s Maui Rum and coconut braised Maui
Cattle Company Beef Cheeks with buttered taro
mash and Hauula Tomato relish. To complement the
cuisine, guests were served fine wines like the Honig
Cabernet from JMD Beverages and Ferrari-Carano
Chardonnay from Southern Wine & Spirits, craft
beers like Goose Island Summer Ale from AnheuserBusch and Samuel Adams Cold Snap from Paradise
Beverages, and updates on classic cocktails like
Joey Gottesman’s “Fashionably Great” with
Paniolo Whiskey. Cold refreshments like Hawaii
Sparkling Water from Menehune Water and
Sumatra Dragonfruit Antioxidant Infusion from Bai5
were also enjoyed. Guests finished up their culinary
experience with sweet samples like MW
Restaurants Chef Michelle Karr-Ueoka’s Dessert
The trend of the evening were the
colorful ribbons attached to house
keys on the necks of our guests all
night long. One lucky key would
unlock the Cellar Door and the
fantastic prize behind it: over five
cases of premium wines donated by
Fujioka’s Wine Times, JMD
Beverages – Wine Division of
Paradise Beverages, Johnson
Brothers of Hawaii, Southern
Wine & Spirits, and Young’s
Market Company of Hawaii. The
night ended in celebration when the lucky winner turned
her key in the Cellar Door lock and won over 60 bottles of
outstanding wine.

Foodbank–Kauai Branch Annual Food Drive on
Saturday, April 16, 2016.
The Hawaii Foodbank – Kauai Branch held its
27th Annual Food Drive on Saturday, April
16, 2016. Our statewide effort was out in full
force with terrific volunteers, and this year
was especially a great success for Kauai—
exceeding last year’s total with $5,159.09
and 2,506 pounds collected! We would like
to thank all of the locations:
• Safeway – Kapa`a & Lihue
• KFC-Lihue
• Walmart
• Big Save- Koloa, Ele`ele, Waimea
• Princeville Foodland
St. Catherine Food Pantry has been involved
with Hawaii Foodbank-Kauai Branch for
about 6 years under the guidance of Mark
Whitson. The volunteers were at SafewayKapa`a on the rainy Saturday morning, and
many of them have attributed the success of
the program to Mark’s work as Operational
Manager of St. Catherine Food Pantry. Within
a week, an estimated number 350 people,
180 of which are children under the age of 18
are serviced with approximately 3,000
pounds of feed during operative days in the
food pantry. If they didn’t have Kauai Branch
to help them supply their food pantry
needs, Mark stated, “it would impact what
we do for the community greatly. It would
be difficult to feed these folks.” Eddie
Pickop informed that there are other
items that folks can donate to the Kauai
Branch that are overlooked essentials like
pet food, diapers, and other toiletries. Ann
Villanueva explains that “this is
community and fellowship for us, we
enjoy what we are doing. There is a core
group of us that set up on Tuesday and
distribute on Wednesday, and we look
forward to that.” Mark mentions that they
also receive fresh fruits and vegetables
from farmers on island.
Safeway-Lihue had Girl Scout Troop 823
with the direction of Troupe Leader,
Teresa Caires and leadership of Sheryl
Perreira and the young women of Na
Hoku O Kauai. They are empowered by
the skills they learn in Girl Scouts and
pageant participation. To these ladies
who are poised to do community service,
we say mahalo nui loa!
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LETTER CARRIERS’

their creativity and design skills to build structures that
reflect the universal pursuit of discovery, exploration,
and humanitarianism.

generosity! On behalf of Cades Schutte, LLP Chief Operating Officer May Lee
shares some impactful words on giving and commmunity engagement: It’s not
just about making a financial donation—it’s about getting involved, and being
present in the community. We couldn't be more thankful for our ability to
donate over 3 tons, and more than $12,000 to the Hawaii Foodbank this year.
Over the past month our entire team came together to support one common
goal and make these donations possible. Cades' attorney Kelly LaPorte (right),

perfectly: “The Foodbank helps so many in our community, we are honored to
be able to contribute to their cause.”
AGENCY SPOTLIGHT
Partners in Development Foundation
For nearly two decades,
Partners in Development
Foundation has dedicated
their efforts deeply rooted in
traditional Hawaiian values
and practices to address
current affairs in ho‘ona‘auao
education, ahupua‘a in
environmental stewardship,
economic development and
community health. PDIF has
devised several programs
Members of Nā Pono No Nā ‘Ohana Staff
including Tūtū and Me and
Nā Pono No Nā ‘Ohana. The foundation’s first program
was established in 2001 as a free traveling preschool. It
has pioneered the fruition of Ka Pa‘alana Homeless
Family Education Program which works in partnerships
with agencies and the Hawaii Foodbank in the Leeward
coast. As a result of socio-economic conditions infused
with ‘ohana values, Grandparents or tūtū, are often the
primary caregivers of their young grandchildren. Today,
the effects of this program reaches hundreds of at-risk
children and their caregivers through a hands-on
curriculum provided in 28 communities throughout the
Nā Pono No Nā ‘Ohana at Waiamanalo Beach
state: six on O‘ahu, twelve on the Big
Island, four on Kaua‘i, two on Molokai
and four on Maui.
Another successful program of PIDF is
Nā Pono No Nā ‘Ohana, a
comprehensive family education
program. The program is located at
Blanche Pope Elementary School in
Waimanalo where the
parent/caregivers and their children
attend together in an environment that
nurtures learning and promotes
education beyond reading and writing. This implementation
of the ahupua‘a system provides a great way for adults to
have fun while learning, playing and socializing.
While there are observable variances in the practices of
Hawaiian traditions and western values, both share
overlapping core concepts such as pa‘ahana (righteousness),
kela (excellence), alaka‘i (leadership), and ku i ka ni‘o
(achievement). The difference is in their philosophy: Rather
than drawing attention to individual achievements,
Hawaiians practice these values by striving for excellence
through hard work for the benefit of the group.
“Partners in Development
Foundation inspires and equips
families and communities
for success and service,
using timeless Hawaiian
values and traditions.”

12 FEEDING OUR OHANA
Whew. That’s a lot. But there’s a
reason for it all—and we see it every
day in the eyes and the lives of the
people who need us.
We see the families who scrape
together the money they need for
rent and electricity… and food.
We see children who either are too
young to know how their parents
worry, or are old enough to wonder
where their next meal is coming
from.
elusive brass ring of security.
We see Germaya, an orphan, with her
sisters and her brothers. They look
out for each other but they accept the
help of Pastor Charlie Lorenz,
Executive Director of Feeding Hawaii
Together. It’s a non-profit agency
that provides food, but also clothes...
and books. That’s right, books.
I like that. Feed and clothe the body,
nourish the mind.
We see kupuna, aunties and uncles
who pinch their pennies, yet can’t
stretch fixed incomes enough to
make it to the end of the month.
When you become part of our Hawaii
Foodbank family, that’s exactly what
you’re doing. You’re helping us feed
bodies and minds, AND providing a
big helping of hope.
We see the homeless. We see those
who are just a step or two away from
homelessness.
Mahalo, once again, for choosing to
help the Hawaii Foodbank and, by
extension, our entire Hawaii ‘ohana.
We see men and women working
hard yet never quite able to grasp the

hungry. Because we care.
