Kauai Food Bank

Board of Directors

John Sydney Yamane

Board President
Executive Committee

I have been a Director at the Food Bank since Hurricane Iniki affected so many people in 1992. I saw good people instantly hurt financially, and because of the lack of food become 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 any productive person must start his/her day with a good meal.

The recently joined the Kauai Food Bank Board because I was familiar with the important work the KFB does to feed Kauai's hungry. KFB's commitment to 'provide food for the hungry, respond to emergencies and eliminate Hunger' on Kauai is shared by all involved from the staff, management, partners, volunteers, donors and supporters of this fine organization. The KFB mission is clear; it is a well-run organization, and I am proud to contribute to this important work.

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.

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!.

Finance Committee
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.

Tom Lodico
Finance Committee
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.
