Aloha & Welcome to The Kauai Independent Food Bank 

The mission of the food bank is to “Prevent hunger, provide nutritional food for the hungry, and respond to emergencies.”    The Hunger Study, 2010 reported that the Food Bank fed more than 11,000 unduplicated persons in 2009.  Our demand for food has increased 40%, out food distribution increased 37%. Product is distributed as fast as donations come in.  The economic downturn has effected our community creating desperation for individuals and families who must choose between purchasing food and other essential items.  We are dedicated to feeding Kauai's hungry especially our children and elderly that are affected.   We like to say Mahalo "Thank you" to all of our Kauai grocers and donors for your ongoing support to help to end hunger here on our beautiful island.
