Hawaii Foodbank Annual Report 2019 Aloha, Family and friends of Hawaii foodbank We are pleased to share the many accomplishments of our 36th year of serving Hawaii's hungry. Thank you for your continued support that helped feed 1 in 8 people in Hawaii, including 53,000 keiki. Through your generosity and belief in Hawaii Foodbank, we distributed more than 12 million pounds of food in 2019. With the help of our food partner network, which includes more than 200 charitable agencies and food bank programs, we provided food for nearly 9.5 million meals to feed the hungry in our communities. It was a year of new opportunities and exciting growth for Hawaii Foodbank's programs. In 2019, our Food 4 Keiki School Pantry program expanded to eight schools on O‘ahu. In addition, we launched two additional Keiki Pantries at the Kalihi YMCA Teen Center and Hoa ‘Aina O Makaha, which serve five more schools nearby. Going into the 2019-2020 school year, we also laid important groundwork for the Food 4 Keiki program on Kaua‘i. We prepared for the school year by installing School Pantry equipment at five different schools, including our first high school — Kaua‘i High School. In addition to our core work of gathering and distributing food, our focus on public policy and advocacy is now a critical component to Hawaii Foodbank’s work, as well. In the coming year, we will continue to focus on important issues that pertain to our role as an advocate and voice for our hungry ‘ohana. I am extremely grateful to report the organization ended 2019 with improved finances, as well. Our hard work and service were recognized by Charity Navigator, the leading charity evaluator in the United States. For the 10th consecutive year, Hawaii Foodbank attained Charity Navigator’s coveted 4-star rating for demonstrating strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency. Charity Navigator evaluates 1.5 million charities across the country, and only two percent have received at least 10 consecutive 4-star evaluations. This exceptional designation demonstrates our trustworthiness to the public. Donors want accountability, transparency and results — and we have delivered. This did not happen by chance or because of our respected reputation, alone. Rather, it is the result of extremely hard work by compassionate people who are committed to serving our community. Through it all, we know none of this is possible without the dedicated support of our donors, food partner agencies, local growers, food manufacturers, corporate partners, volunteers, staff, Board of Directors and entire community. Your passion, compassion and ongoing commitment bring us closer to achieving the goal of a hunger-free Hawaii. Humbly, we say, "Mahalo." With much respect and aloha, Ron Mizutani, President and CEO 2 2019 ANNUAL REPORT HAWAIIFOODBANK.ORG Serving the people of Hawaii for 36 years Our MISSION The people of Hawaii are one ‘ohana.

Who could have predicted this horrific loss of human life and the utter worldwide disruption to our lives? Throughout these challenging times, there have been stories of heroism at every level – from front line workers giving their all to combat the spread of this disease to voices of children sharing their hope in the face of tragedy. In our last NOTAM, we considered how museums and other institutions might come together to shed some light and perhaps pioneer alternate forms of engagement and learning. After all, there is no set of instructions on how we move forward. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead We hope our virtual and in-person programs have reduced the isolation many experience daily. In the midst of these trying times, Hawaii hosted our nation’s 75th WWII Commemoration, celebrating the hope and peace that followed the end of this global conflict.

Contact: [email protected] TITLE: When You Can’t Watch What You Eat: Examining the FDA’s Recall Process for Food Allergies Written by Jacob Passy Stefani Bush’s friend believed she was being thoughtful. Getting together at the Bush’s suburban Lowell, Mass., home for an evening playing board games, the friend swung by a Hannaford Supermarket and scooped up store- baked cookies to share. Stefani Bush set out the oatmeal raisin cookies – but not without first checking the package’s ingredients. That’s because she and her two young children suffer from food allergies, particularly to nuts. The label passed her inspection: no nuts listed. Everyone dug into the food, including Bush’s son Will. But Bush’s husband took a bite and noticed something was not right. He tasted walnuts. What ensued were frantic phone calls to a doctor and worries as 11-year- old Will began to show signs of a reaction. The panicked mom shuddered, “I thought, ‘I almost just killed my son.’” The label was wrong. The incident led Hannaford, a major New England grocery chain, to recall all packages of those kinds of cookies, but not before Will and potentially other allergy sufferers were exposed to the mislabeled goods.

  • Kailua-Kona, Hi
    David Armstrong [email protected] www.cruiseplannerslv.com 702-823-5763 KAILUA-KONA, HI OVERVIEW Introduction The famed Kona coast covers about two-thirds of the western coastline of Hawaii Island—the perfect spot for spectacular sunsets. At the heart of Kona is the town of Kailua-Kona, where many of the area's restaurants and tourist activities are clustered. Along the North Kona and South Kohala coasts, you'll find some of Hawaii's most luxurious resorts. Spend several days exploring Kailua-Kona's historical and cultural attractions, engaging in watersports, deep-sea fishing and diving, or just relaxing on the many spectacular beaches. Perhaps the Kona coast's biggest attraction is its fine, sunny weather—daytime temperatures average in the high 70s F/23-26 C year-round. Sights—Hawaiian history at Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park; King Kamehameha's compound, Kamakahonu, and reconstructed temple, Ahuena Heiau; a view of Kilauea's lava flows from the ground or a helicopter. Museums—Viewing indigenous Hawaiian artifacts at Hulihee Palace and Museum; experiencing coffee growing at the Kona Coffee Living History Farm; learning about the region's agricultural roots at the H.N. Greenwell Store Museum. Memorable Meals—Huggo's for fresh seafood; Merriman's landmark Hawaiian regional cuisine; Teshima's Restaurant in Honalo for satisfying local fare and friendly service; Jackie Ray's for seafood and grilled meats; pack a picnic and watch the sunset on one of Kona's many beaches. Late Night—The Island Breeze Luau at the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel; drinks and dancing at the Mask-querade Bar; refreshing cocktails and light fare at Huggo's on the Rocks.
