OPDAS Weekly Updates

During this unprecedented time, the Hawaiʻi Foodbank needs our continued support now more than ever. The issue of hunger continues to be a major challenge facing our community and the demands on the Hawaiʻi Foodbank are even greater. While the top five needs are various canned goods and rice, which are currently in short supply, please be reminded that monetary donations are also being accepted via the Hawaiʻi Foodbank’s “Online Donation” page – be sure to list UHWO as your campus.

This year, your Hawaiʻi Foodbank coordinators will be trying something new. Coordinators will be asking for weekly donations of the highest in demand requests from the Foodbank. Each week, UHWO will ask for the following:

April 11-15 Canned proteins

April 18-22 Canned meals (chili, mac n cheese, soups, pork n beans, etc)

April 25-29 Canned fruits

May 2-6 Canned vegetables

May 9-13 Rice

Donations can be dropped off in the Nāulu Center or Administration building lobby.
