KAHULUI — During the holidays, many people in Hawaii struggle to put food on their tables. Addressing this need, The Salvation Army is bridging the gap by distributing Thanksgiving meals across Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Hawaii Island.

With events spanning from Hanapepe to Honokaa, the nonprofit plans to provide thousands of meals, aiming to not only share the warmth of the season through hearty and delicious food, but also to raise awareness about the Salvation Army’s ongoing, faithful commitment to serving communities of Hawaii.

“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the generous contributions of our volunteers, corporate partners, dedicated staff and Salvation Army officers who play a pivotal role in orchestrating our annual Thanksgiving events in Hawaii,” said Charmaine K. Hauanio-Kuewa, divisional director of development for The Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Islands Division.

“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.”

On Maui, there will be a dine-in Community Thanksgiving Meal at the University of Hawaii Maui College in the Pa’ina Building on Wednesday, Nov. 22, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
