‘ELE‘ELE — The aftermath of overnight heavy rains was a perfect window for the Hawai‘i Foodbank, Kaua‘i Branch who stopped off at the ‘Ele‘ele Elementary School on Wednesday.
Michelle Panoke and Chyenne Beach were not dropping off material for the school’s food pantry program, but instead collecting 1,735 pounds of nonperishable food that the ‘Ele‘ele School Mustangs collected during a two-week food drive by students and families of grades PK through Grade 5.
‘Ele‘ele School staff, including principal Allison Carveiro, helped move the wide variety of canned goods, packaged pasta, saimin, and even snack items in the clear morning air cooled by winds from the cold front.
The Hawai‘i Foodbank, Kaua‘i Branch also fuels the ‘Ele‘ele School food pantry program that offers take-home help for students with their food needs, something that is welcomed especially during these unprecedented times of COVID-19.
Food drive again? Sharing the foods on Kaua’i. I eat out only. So I don’t really stock up on foods. That’s the in thing. I don’t know who actually donates foods.
