Dentist and donations

Hawaii Island’s Food Bank gathered with partner agency volunteers on Wednesday afternoon for a Food Drop at the Pahoa Senior Center.

The hourlong event, providing items ranging from yogurt to cereal and canned protein, was in coordination with Kailua-Kona dentist Dr. Clifford Kopp’s “Walk the Talk” walk around the island to promote awareness of unsheltered homelessness on Hawaii Island. Over 120 community members were served through the community outreach with great effort from The Food Basket’s partner agencies, the Bodacious Ladies, and the Pahoa Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen.
