Helpful Tools & Resources for Partner Agencies

Our mission is simple and direct: “To help the hungry in Maui County by collecting and distributing food through community partnerships.”

More than 130 partner agencies from faith-based and community service organizations have full access to all the resources at the Maui Food Bank. These agencies provide direct service to the needy by distributing food through pantries, serving meals at soup kitchens, shelters, homeless drop-in centers and mobile outreach programs.

Become a Partner Agency

To become a member agency you must be a 501(c)(3) organization and the scope of the organization or church mission must include a reference to helping the needy.

If your nonprofit organization is interested in becoming a Partner Agency of the Maui Food Bank, please contact Charity “Tita” Hartman, Agency Director, at [email protected].

    Do you believe that every person has the right to access healthy food? A healthy food supply decreases chronic diseases, increases productivity in the classroom and workplace, and increases health and wellness among those in need in our communities. Please use this toolkit as a starting point to implement a nutrition policy within your organization.
  • SWAP – Supporting Wellness at Pantries
    SWAP is a nutrition ranking system designed to promote healthy food choices at pantries to support the wellbeing of each client. Many of the families served at food pantries have a household member who struggles with chronic diseases. High-blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity can be treated and reversed through proper nutrition and health.

  • Client Choice Pantry Handbook
    What is a Client Choice Pantry? A Client Choice Pantry allows clients to select their own food instead of receiving a prepacked or standard box of groceries. With this method, clients do not have to take items they already have, do not like, or cannot eat for health or personal reasons. The goal of this Client Choice Food Pantry Handbook is to provide food pantries with resources and assistance to operate as a client choice pantry.
