MAHALO FOR YOUR DONATION!

On May 12, 2020, we opened applications for the Kokua Restaurant Workers’ Fund and had more than 2,000 laid-off workers apply. The Kokua Restaurant Workers’ Fund was designed to help restaurant workers with a $250 Visa card to purchase meals for their families from local restaurants and establishments.

The Kokua Restaurant Workers’ Fund and #ALOHAChallenge raised $160,000 from over 230 donors to feed 640 restaurant and bar workers who have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As you know, there is a long, challenging road ahead of us, and our team will continue to strive to help others, especially those in our industry.

Hawaii Food & Wine Festival has created the Kokua Ag & Culinary Fund to support programs that will help our agricultural, culinary and hospitality industries, and their employees, as we continue to provide relief to those in need and rebuild our economy for a more resilient and sustainable Hawaii.

If you are interested in joining HFWF to support Hawaii’s agricultural, culinary and hospitality-related organizations and individuals that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, please consider donating to the Kokua Ag & Culinary Fund.
