At first I was reluctant to join the Kauai Food Bank because I have so many other community organizations that I support. As I began to know and understand the mission of the Kauai Food bank, I realize the tremendous importance of its work. The amount of hungry Kauai citizens that the Kauai Food Bank feeds each year is staggering. Even more surprising is the number of elders and youth that receive food from the Food Bank. Now I feel that I'm really contributing to the community in a very dutiful way.

At
the Kaua'i Foodbank we look forward
to the day when: • No
child goes to school hungry or
undernourished. • Our
kupuna don't have to chose between
buying food or buying
needed medications. •
Families or individuals who are
temporarily down on
their luck are at least food-secure.
• When that day comes, we
will gladly close our doors
and celebrate!.

Prior
to being on the Board of Kauai
Food Bank, I served as their financial
auditor and came to respect and
admire the job that Executive
Director Judy Lenthall and her
crew were doing. They are tireless
in their dedication to eliminate
hunger on Kauai. I believe everyone
has a responsibility to give back
to their community and I feel
there is no better organization
on Kauai.

The Kauai
Food Bank is one organization that has
no pretenses. Their core mission is to
provide food to our
Kauai residents who are
hungry. The Board, staff, agencies and
volunteers are committed to this mission
and will allow nothing to stand in their
way. As a 25 year Marriott veteran
devoted to our “Spirit to Serve” motto,
I understand how very important it is
for our businesses and employees to
partner with and support the local
community. The Kauai Food Bank and the
Kauai Marriott share this
core value. It is my pleasure to provide
the connection for the Marriott
organization to support the Kauai Food
Bank in this very personal way.

I
have been a director with the
Food Bank since Hurricane Iniki
affected so many people in 1992.
I have seen good people who were
instantly hurt financially, and
because of lack of food became
depressed and unproductive. One
of the best policies of the Kauai
Food Bank is that they do not
discriminate against anyone who
is hungry or in need of food.
I feel strongly that a good worker
must start his/her day with a
good meal.
