Food Pantries in the North Hawaii District
|
There are 3 Free Little Food Pantries in the North Hawaii District. BIGT takes extra care in helping to keep those pantries stocked along with other community members. These Free Little Food Pantries give families and individuals the opportunity to access free food when they need it. The motto for the pantries is to "Take what you need and leave what you can". Pantries are located in Hawi near Car Tow Kohala, in Kapa'au near the thrift store, and in Waimea outside of New Hope Church. |

Monthly clothing and basic needs outreach happens in the Ka'u district at St. Jude's Church every 3rd Saturday.
