Why do we exist?
What do we do?
In Hawai`i, about 1 in 5 people depend on food pantries for assistance.Yet approximately 237,000 tons of food – or 26% of the available food supply – is wasted annually.1
Aloha Harvest is the largest food rescue and redistribution organization inHawai`i, getting quality excess food into stomachs instead of landfills.Free of charge and free of liability, we pick up excess food from 250+donors and deliver it to 175+ social service agencies feeding the hungry.
