Their mission is simple–“[H]elp the hungry in Maui County by collecting and distributing food through community partnerships”–but executing it is anything but. Food, especially on an island out in the middle of the Pacific, is expensive, and Maui Food Bank relies on donations from regular type people. And they need a lot of donations, since they figure they serve about 10,000 people every month–this year, that should total about 1.5 million pounds of food they’ll hand out to poor people across Maui. No one else on the island is doing anything like that volume, and it’s heartening to see that our readers recognize and applaud it. 760 Kolu St., Wailuku; 808-243-9500
