Our Ho’ai Food & Goods Pantry is a place where our students can shop for the things they need for themselves, family, and household. Through a partnership with the Hawaii FoodBank- Kauai Branch, we are able to offer a variety of canned, refrigerated, and frozen foods. We also carry other goods such as clothing; household and hygiene items; feminine products; diapers, wipes, & formula; and other goods as available through donations and grant funding.
