<h2>Our Mission</h2> | ||
<p> | ||
Access to enough food should be a basic right. Unfortunately, this | ||
is not the reality for millions of people in Hawaii. Food insecurity | ||
is inconsistent with access to cheap and nutritious food. | ||
<a href={"https://alohaharvest.org/"}>Aloha Harvest</a> is the largest food rescue nonprofit in the state | ||
of Hawaiʻi. Seven days a week, free of | ||
charge and free of liability, we rescue quality excess food from donors (ex: wholesale distributors, | ||
grocery stores, restaurants, hotels) and redistribute it to recipient agencies feeding the hungry | ||
(ex: homeless shelters, social services, food pantries). | ||
</p> | ||
<p>(TBD)</p> | ||
<p> | ||
Food pantries in the area are experiencing unprecedented demand. The | ||
demand for food assistance has almost doubled since the beginning of | ||
2020. To compound matters, it is the hard work of volunteers that | ||
keeps pantries and meal programs open. The number of volunteers | ||
available to distribute food has diminished. | ||
We have been doing this work for over 21 years and represent the largest and most successful collaboration | ||
between businesses and nonprofits in the state. | ||
<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-sdszGH_y2MLd-yTDVa0ESalyY_zCDKH/view">Last year</a>, we | ||
worked with 370 food donors and 273 recipient agencies to redistribute over 2.7 million pounds of good | ||
food that would have otherwise been wasted! | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
The primary goal of Food Oasis is to provide up-to-date information | ||
to Hawaiians. We built a directory that connects anyone with | ||
hundreds of free food resources. Food Oasis presents reliable | ||
information on a user-friendly platform. This will reduce stress and | ||
uncertainty for food seekers. It will also demonstrate to our | ||
community the growing need of food donations on the islands. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
Food Oasis is creating a directory of updated food resources. There | ||
are countless groups helping to feed hungry Hawaiians. But it’s | ||
difficult for those in need to find them because there’s no one | ||
source of updated info. We’re working to change that. | ||
This work is essential because even while 1 in 5 people in Hawaiʻi rely on food pantries for assistance, | ||
about 237,000 tons of good food is wasted annually. Here's a | ||
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9kNYCUtg8E&feature=youtu.be">short</a> video that explains | ||
more of our process, impact, and future potential. | ||

<h2>Our Team</h2> | ||
<p> | ||
Food Oasis started in 2015 under{" "} | ||
<a href="//hackforla.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> | ||
Hack for LA | ||
</a> | ||
, a brigade under the non-profit{" "} | ||
<a | ||
href="//codeforamerica.org" | ||
target="_blank" | ||
rel="noopener noreferrer" | ||
> | ||
Code for America | ||
</a> | ||
. The goal was to create a site of free and subsidized food | ||
resources. The team gave the project to a nonprofit to manage its | ||
day-to-day operations. The upkeep turned out to be much more work | ||
than any single nonprofit could handle. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
Our web-based solution is sparking collaboration, community | ||
building, and team building. The result of this community-building | ||
gives the food seeker updated information to find the free food | ||
resources they need. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
We are 100% volunteer-run project. We look forward to sharing our | ||
updated directory with Hawaii. | ||
