Points of Distribution Sites for Kaukau 4 Keiki Summer Food Program

Hawaiʻi Island — After receiving more than 9,500 applications this year, Vibrant Hawaiʻi is looking for partners to lead distribution sites in Hāmākua, Honokaʻa, Kailua-Kona, Keaʻau, North Hilo, North Kohala, Nā‘ālehu, Ocean View, Pāhala, Puna Makai, Puna Mauka, South Hilo, South Kona, Waimea, Waikoloa, and Volcano. Community organizations, schools, churches, nonprofit organizations, and informal neighborhood groups are all encouraged to apply. Previous experience is not required. Vibrant Hawaiʻi provides training, coordination, and supplies to ensure each site operate successfully.

“We are seeing the need clearly,” said Janice Ikeda, CEO of Vibrant Hawaiʻi. “9,500 applications tells us that families are counting on this program. To meet that need, we need more sites—and we need leaders in every community who are willing to step forward.”

Kaukau 4 Keiki will run from the week of Monday, June 15 through Friday, July 24, 2026, providing weekly food boxes to families across Hawaiʻi Island while school is out. 

Site registration is open through April 20, 2026 at: bit.ly/26sites.
