“During the pandemic, we saw families struggling to put food on the table for their kids. Though our program is not to the size of our local Food Bank on the island, we continue to be blessed by those in our community that want to donate funds to this program in order to provide a healthy meal for our island Keiki”, expressed Celeste Cline, CoOwner of Poi Dog Deli in a press release.

So far, the ‘Keiki Food Fund’ has provided over 5,000 free meals to families.  Poi Dog Deli will continue to provide free Keiki meals until donations run out.
