Amazon marks one year of next-day delivery on Oahu
Amazon's faster shipping on Oahu has now run a full year, and the company marked it with a food donation — good news for Hawaii families short on groceries.
- Amazon workers and guests packed boxes of food with the Hawaii Foodbank for its school pantry program.
- The two have an ongoing partnership that includes money and help with shipping and logistics.
- The Foodbank says 40% of local kids do not get enough to eat.
- Faster delivery to the islands is a rare logistics win for a state where shipping is slow and costly.
Outlook: Expect Amazon to keep leaning on the Foodbank partnership as it builds out its Hawaii delivery network.
