The Senior Food Box Program in Kaaawa, HI, offers vital food assistance through the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), providing low-income kūpuna with a monthly box of high-quality USDA foods. Each food box is crafted to supplement essential nutrients, playing a crucial role in alleviating senior hunger and reducing the risk of health complications that could lead to expensive hospital stays or nursing home placements. To join the program, applicants can download and complete the online application, submitting it to the Hawaii Foodbank. As demand is high and resources are limited, all distribution sites currently maintain wait lists for CSFP benefits. While on the wait list, clients may receive extra boxes at the conclusion of each distribution based on availability, but monthly access is not guaranteed. We are committed to supporting our community's senior population with the nutrition they need to thrive.
