Kauai Independent Food Bank

Kauai Independent Food Bank

Older Kauai residents are often part of a “quiet” segment of the community that may receive less attention than others. Yet many seniors face significant challenges to their health and well-being, including lack of or insufficient income, transportation, health care, and nutritious food. The Kauai Independent Food Bank (KIFB), with the generous assistance of the Cooke Foundation, has developed a program to assist older Kauai residents. Kauai seniors who attend the nine County of Kauai Senior centers and two Alu Like Hawaiian Senior Centers, as well as members of AARP not affiliated with a senior center, may obtain food at KIFB monthly for free. Seniors who make monthly excursions to Lihue to shop, have lunch, and socialize, may also stop at the KIFB to select canned goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy and bakery products and other items at no cost to them. Nearly 200 clients participate monthly and the number has increased as more seniors have learned about the service.
