Only 4 in 10 low-income students is getting the benefits of school breakfast.

During the month of September, donations at Hawaiʻi Safeway will help families struggling more than ever with hunger during the pandemic.

Fewer than 1 in 11 keiki in free or reduced-price school lunch were reached by summer meals.

Community organizations respond to delayed start of public school year by keeping keiki feeding sites open.

During this unplanned school closure, three SFSP sponsors—YMCA Honolulu, Parents and Children Together, and Palama Settlement—are opening food sites in low-income areas on Oʻahu for keiki.

Even fewer low-income children in Hawaiʻi are starting their day with a healthy school breakfast.

The merger of these social justice organizations is meant to forge a stronger connection between data-driven policy and impacted communities.

The state is foregoing more than $600,000 per year in federal meal reimbursements as a result.

All throughout this month, when you make a donation to the Hunger Is campaign at Safeway stores throughout Hawaiʻi, your money will help us expand school breakfast participation in our schools.

The 50-year advocate for the low-income community and founder of Hawaiʻi Appleseed Center for Law & Economic Justice will retire on August 31, 2019.

A national report released today shows Hawaiʻi has dropped to 43rd in the nation in providing free or reduced-price school lunches to keiki over the summer, but there is reason for optimism going forward.

The state is foregoing more than $500,000 per year in federal meal reimbursements as a result.

The state’s high cost of living and low wages has made recovery slow and painful for many families.
