Hawaiʻi Foodbank and Amazon partner to feed kids through school pantries

Sep 30, 2026

Amazon is expanding its support for the Hawaiʻi Foodbank's school pantry program, good news for families on Oahu struggling to put food on the table.

  • Amazon workers and guests helped pack and unload food boxes for the Foodbank's program for kids.
  • The Foodbank says 40% of local children do not have enough to eat.
  • Amazon has been giving money and covering shipping and logistics costs over time, not just one-off donations.
  • The push coincides with Amazon marking a year of next-day delivery on Oahu, which also speeds up how fast goods reach the islands.

Outlook: The partnership looks set to continue, with school pantries reaching more students as food costs stay high.
