Salvation Army will provide 6,000 Thanksgiving meals to people in need across Hawaii
Many people in Hawaii can’t put food on the table during the holidays. The Salvation Army is filling that gap by distributing Thanksgiving meals on Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Hawaii Island.
The nonprofit will provide 6,000 meals at events from Hanapepe to Honokaa. During the pandemic, the nonprofit stopped hosting its in-person event at the Blaisdell Center Exhibition Hall in Honolulu. This year it’s back and welcoming 2,000 guests. (See below for a complete list.)
“We are grateful for the generous help of corporate partners, volunteers, advisory boards, staff and Salvation Army officers for organizing our annual Thanksgiving events in Hawaii,” Major Phil Lum, Divisional Commander for The Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Islands, said in a news release. “We humbly ask the community for their continued support and encourage those in need of a meal to reach out to The Salvation Army Corps in their community.”
