Find food, stay informed and access help and resources during the Kona Low Storm.
Hawaiʻi Foodbank is partnering with community hubs as well as our longstanding network of hunger relief partners to ensure all those affected by the Kona Low storms have consistent access to safe and healthy food in the coming weeks and months.
Below, we’ve highlighted distributions and pantries in and near areas affected by the storm. We have dozens of other opportunities available each week across the island through our network of hunger relief partners — please see the Oʻahu Food Assistance Finder map below or scroll to the Oʻahu Food Assistance Handout below for a downloadable printout of all resources available on the island for you.
We are working closely with community partners to identify additional opportunities to support communities with both food distributions and meals. We will be updating this resource regularly; please check back for updates. If you have questions or need additional support, please call us at 808-836-3600, email us at info@hawaiifoodbank.org, or call 211.

How You Can Prepare Your ʻOhana
Strive to be Two-Weeks Ready
Hawaiʻi emergency managers recommend storing a 14-day emergency supply of food, water and medicine for each member of your ʻohana. That’s a lot! While 14-days’ worth of food is a good target, any extra food you can store is a great step towards being disaster prepared.
Download our Emergency Food Supply Tips to learn more and get started.
Get Informed
One great way to help ensure the safety and well-being of you and your ʻohana is to be well-informed and make a disaster plan. Here are some great free resources for learning about the risks we face and how to start creating a disaster plan for your ʻohana.
