March 11, 2020 marks the day the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. STM’s Kokua Foods Program has been steadily growing since then, expanding from serving 300 families with fresh produce once each month to serving over 1000 families 2-4 times each month with increased food services including hot meals, casseroles, sandwiches, nonperishable food staples totally over 1 million pounds of food as well as non-food items such as masks, toiletry kits, cleaning kits, and clothing.

Thankfully we are all closer to being vaccinated, but the need in our community will not go away overnight and many are on a long path to achieving financial security. Please consider making a donation today to help support our efforts.

Thank you! We couldn’t do what we do without all of the support from our members, our partners, and our community.
