Food Distribution

Go Fresh

Ohana Drops

Ohana drops are essential in providing food to those experiencing food insecurity. Many parents face financial difficulties and struggle to afford groceries after paying for essential expenses like rent and utilities. The Go Fresh program ensures recipients receive nutritious food, including fresh fruits and vegetables. With multiple drop-off sites across Maui County, Maui Food Bank provides easy access to food for those in need in their local communities.

Senior Mobile Pantry

Senior Mobile Pantry is a dedicated distribution service for seniors living in Maui County. Each month, we provide a selection of wholesome and supplementary food for seniors at convenient drop-off sites. Our goal is to ensure that seniors have access to a diverse range of nutritious food, including fruits and vegetables through our Go Fresh Program.

Partner Agencies Food Distribution

Maui Food Bank works with more than 100 partner agencies to distribute food through various programs such as: Soup Kitchens, Food Pantries, Youth Programs, Community Service Programs and Senior Housing Sites. Some agencies work in rural, underserved areas such as Hana, Keanae, Molokai and Lanai.

Disaster Preparedness

Maui Food Bank provides food to Disaster Relief Organizations in times of crisis.

Molokai & Lanai

Twenty partner agencies work on Molokai and Lanai and provide safe and nutritious food for those in need. Also, pallets of food are shipped from Maui to both islands on a monthly basis.

Disaster Response Update

Maui Food Bank is Maui County’s primary safety net for hunger relief, providing safe and nutritious food to anyone in Maui County who is at risk of going hungry.

Following the fires, Maui Food Bank sprang into immediate action. Between August 9 and August 31, we distributed 548,367 pounds of food and remain committed to providing ongoing food assistance to those in need.

The Food Bank works with partner organizations throughout Maui County, including food pantries, churches, non-profits, soup kitchens, and various community-based groups. This cooperative network strategy enables the Food Bank to effectively run comprehensive and efficient food distribution programs that serve the entire community.

The vast majority of our partner agencies are fully operational, with many of them extending their distribution hours to accommodate the growing demand across Maui. The map displays the existing food distribution sites, and we are actively engaged in expanding our distribution locations, including those on the west side.

Maui Food Bank has joined forces with Hawai‘i Foodbank on O‘ahu and Feeding America to deliver essential food supplies to Maui. Our island community is on a challenging journey towards recovery, and we want to express our sincere gratitude to the countless generous contributors who are making it possible for us to continue this vital mission, both now and in the days to come.
