Many families are still struggling with food insecurity as they try to recover from the pandemic. The Food Bank is requesting that people please consider participating in a "virtual food drive" and donate money (cash or check) instead of actual food items. The Food Bank can take advantage of their discounted buying privileges. For example, a $5 donation will allow them to get the equivalent of a ten pound bag of apples. $10 equals a twenty-five pound bag of potatoes and $15 will equate to thirty pounds of rice! For the class competition, we will also credit the classroom the same poundage listed above for any cash donations. (if writing a check, please make it payable to the "Hawaii Food Bank") Please Consider Donating These Most Needed Items:

• Canned Proteins (like tuna or chicken)

• Canned Meals (like stew, spaghetti or chili)

• Canned Fruits

• Canned Vegetables

• Bags of Rice

The deadline for all Food Bank donations is Friday morning (April 16). Thank you for your kind support!
