The Hawaii Island Food Basket has announced its May, 2020 schedule for distributing groceries around the island.  Most usual feeding entities have closed because of COVID-19 and concerns over its spread, so Food Basket has increased its emergency food drops.  Everybody who comes may stay in their vehicle, and volunteers will put food in the car for them.

All sites will distribute food until it runs out or until the time indicated as the end time.
