KCC is trying to start its very own Food Pantry in the spring and we need your help! This campus food pantry will be designed to meet the immediate needs of KCC students by providing a variety of non-perishable food items and other basic necessities like toiletries.

Come and help us support the Pohukaina Food Pantry by donating cans and attending our Food Drive on November 30th in Kīkaha o Laeʻahi (‘Iliahi 231) from 12pm – 4pm. At the event, you can learn more about the Pohukaina Food Pantry, watch live food demos and learn about how to eat healthy while on a budget! There will be goodie bags for the first 50 people that bring in two canned foods.

If you canʻt attend, you can still donate items. Kīkaha o Laeʻahi, ʻIliahi 231 is open Monday-Thursday from 8am – 5pm and on Fridays from 8am – 4pm.
