Lanakila Pacific gets $1.5M to fortify facility
On Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Ed Case announced FEMA gave Lanakila Pacific a grant of $1.5 million.
The upgrades will help the Honolulu nonprofit, which operates the Meals of Wheels program, protect its reserve food supplies.
“Super Typhoon Mawar and its devastating impact on our Guam and Northern Marianas ohana drive home yet again that we must assume and fully prepare for similar direct hurricane and other severe storm impacts on Hawaii,” said Case, a member of the U.S. House Committee on Appropriations and its Subcommittee on Homeland Security, which holds federal funding and oversight authority over FEMA.
