Hawai'i Foodbank adds distributions during federal shutdown; Windward pop-up serves about 500 families
With the federal government shutdown continuing, the Hawai'i Foodbank opened a pop-up distribution at Windward Community College on November 5, serving about 500 families in the campus parking lot. The distribution was co-coordinated with State Representative Lisa Kitagawa and others under the Emergency Food Assistance Program.
On November 6, the food bank was set to hold its largest distribution since the shutdown began, at Aloha Stadium, expecting about 2,000 households.
The shutdown has delayed federal food assistance and interrupted pay for some federal workers, driving up demand across Hawai'i, and the food bank and its partners have added distribution sites around O'ahu. (Source: Hawai'i Foodbank)
