RPCVHI has an opportunity to support the Hawaiʻi Food Bank for its monthly Senior Food Box Packing on Saturday, September 27 from 8 am to noon. Volunteers will be working inside their warehouse at 2611 Kilihau Street on Oʻahu, to help pack 2,300 boxes of USDA choice food for seniors on Oʻahu and Kauaʻi. 

RPCVHI is seeking FIVE people to participate in the event. Please consider supporting this effort!

The activity is open to individuals 16 or older.  Volunteers must be able to stand, bend, lift (up to 20 lbs), and perform repetitive movements.

The Senior Food Box program helps to combat the poor health conditions often found among kūpuna who are experiencing food insecurity. During a time when federal food assistance is facing a significant reduction, these food boxes can help vulnerable kūpuna from having to choose between food and other basic needs.
