Why do we exist? 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 What do we do? Aloha Harvest is the largest food rescue and redistribution organization in Hawai`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. #wastelessfeedmore
