Chef group helps get food to hungry

Foodland donated boxes of packaged meals. The Hilton Hawaiian Village sent 25 pallets of meat, fish and produce. Moku Kitchen and Nico’s Pier 38 donated more fish. Maui Nui Venison sent more than 500 pounds of deer meat.

The shuttering of restaurant dining rooms came upon many restaurants and caterers suddenly, when their pantries were full of fresh food.

Aloha Harvest, a nonprofit with a long track record of “rescuing” unused food and getting it to the needy, was suddenly awash in donations. Not that it couldn’t use the food. The group delivers to more than 175 social service agencies; the bounty kept drivers working overtime on rescue and distribution.
